BC Cartoonist Johnny Hart dies . . .

[Cowperson]

The guy who authored the "BC" comic strip since 1958 has died.

There was some ongoing occasional controversy on this comic strip due to Hart's pre-occupation with religious messages.

Still, almost 50 years is an outstanding achievement . . . .

I think what I miss most from not reading the newspaper anymore is the funny pages. So long Johnny.

In watching some of the recent Red Bull commercials I couldn't help but think of those old BC comics from the papers. 50 years is a long and impressive feat.

I had that for the C64. You had to run over clams, or something like that.

BC's Quest For Tires.

I'm now tempted to hook up my old Commodore 64 and play it again.

One of my favorite cartoons when I was young, there was often a deep message that made me think.

And yes, B.C's Quest for Tires was awesome.

Quest for tires was a hard game...particulalry when you went into the caves and had to avoid the little rocks or whatever.

I never did beat the game. Couldn't get across the damn bridge.

RIP Johnny Hart.
