John Lewis Hart, also known as Johnny Hart, was an American cartoonist noted as the creator of the comic strip B.C. and co-creator (with Brant Parker) of the strip The Wizard of Id. Hart was recognized with several awards, including five from the National Cartoonists Society, and the Swedish Adamson Award. In his later years, he sparked controversy by incorporating overtly Christian themes and messages into the strips.

Reviews

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Coming out in 1982, strips from November of 75 through June of 76 – there was enough of a gap between when the strips ran and when they came out in the paperback collections that they must have seemed pretty fresh to even hardened fans, how well would most people remember gags that were six years old? Anyway, good form here, no particularly surprising developments but no shortage of laughs.

More interesting as a historical artifact, there's still some decent chuckles. There's also a decent amount of "Huh?"s too.

Middle era BC, and sill an innovative strip.
