B.C. and Wizard of Id creator Johnny Hart dead at 76



Even in its religious and occasionally controversial later years, I still had a soft spot for B.C., so I was sad to read that creator Johnny Hart passed away this Saturday at the age of 76. Hart died at his drawing table, which is how I imagine all cartoonists would like to leave this world. (With Hart’s beliefs, however, I imagine he wasn’t in favour of being turned into a pencil)
In other sad news, The Daily Cartoonist points out that B.C. will not be retired from the comics page, instead becoming yet another strip by a deceased creator taking up space that denies newer work from reaching an audience.
