Distinctly less funny this time around. It hovered between 2 and 3.

[Hannah Belyea · Rating 3 out of 5]

B.C and his pals are continuing their exploration of the world, under every rock and past every hill - but it will take some serious imagination and a plethora of wacky plans to get human civilization on its way. Hart will keep fans chuckling the whole way through with his classic style of wit and charm in another enjoyable collection of short but sweet strips. Beware the dip in the road lest it bring what little stands tumbling down.

BC was always a fun read when I would read the newapaper comics or get bored at work while playing on Yahoo.

This was a great compilation of some of their jokes, great for some good laughs.

I love B.C.! And this compilation of cartoons is classic.

The cover itself is great, A guy wheeling along a road, seeing a sign saying "Dip in Road," and then a very funny looking guy sitting on a rock in the roadway.

Another amusing cartoon. . . . A dude is looking up buffalo in a dictionary. The dictionary says "see bison." When he looks up bison in the book, he reads "the second largest city in N.Y. state."

And on it goes. I don't see a publication date on the volume, but the cost was only 75 cents, so it must have been a while back!

Anyhow, a lot of fun. . . .

Laughed out loud a few times. Good for killing time.

Coming out in 1974 with strips from 69, specifically mid-March through mid-October, I calculate the book incudes about 60 % of the dailies for that period. Hart’s in decent form here, not quite as good as in the previous volume but there are still good laughs to be found.

Continuation of the hilarity!!
