Johnny Hart's B.C. caveman comic strip is one of the dullest comic strips ever conceived by an artist and the sad fact it has been allowed to taint newspapers and the comic industry is contemptible. I bought a book for research soon to be donated to a local goodwill of his fifty years of drawing this absolute crap. His short worded strip is often unfunny and few of the items he paradoys actually has anything to do with being in the time period of B.C. The storylines are lame and his characters totally uninteresting with crudely drawn prehistoric people that the reader can barely distinguish from one another in this strip.
The strip is suppose to be in ancient flintstone times but all the gags for the most part pertain to modern cultural implications. In the fifty year time period this crumb of a comic artist has been allowed to print, there are endless modern gags that are all unfunny and irrelevant for a comic strip about cavemen. I find it prodigious that this strip was actually allotted fifty years in printed syndication. Hart seems to have wished he could of drawn a space comic strip because looking through the book you would be amazed at how many alien and other planet panels show up in this detestable comic strip.
