Chapter 59.6: RIP B.C. Creator

Johnny Hart, the cartoonist who created B.C. and co-created the Wizard of Id, has died. Longtime standard fare in the Sunday comics and the daily strips, B.C. is perhaps best known for its tendency toward theological statements. This got Hart into hot water sometimes, but I think he should be applauded for not being afraid to express his beliefs in a very secular world. Sometimes his message got misunderstood, but I don't think he meant to offend.

Personally, I stopped finding B.C. particularly funny a while ago, though he had occasional good strips. But it has remained a distinctive comic strip, and apparently his family will continue it into the future.
