I always like bc, it was one-of-a-kind. Sometimes cartoonists give us an answer, but we`re too busy laughing.

ot- gee nanc, you`re pretty. Lucky guy, your hubby.

B.C. was always one of my favorite comic strips. Satirical and funny, it will be missed.

Hey, at least no one can accuse Johnny Hart of false-advertising, beamish.

Hart was a genious. I loved the b.c. cartoon strip. I think it was at Shoprat's blog where I read his family is planning on carrying on with the strip, but can it really be the same?

I never could get into comics. I guess it's a younger generation thing? Who knows? Evening Nanc!

Hello nanc, another icon of my childhood is gone. Jeez, I used to look a "BC'' all the time, it was like "Peanuts'', it was always there, like Prozac for our generation. Sigh. Take Johnny Hart. J"Mac.
