This review is from: B.C. Why Me? (Mass Market Paperback)

The thing that makes B.C. probably one of the last reallyenjoyable comic strips to read is the dry humour that creator JohnnyHart inserts in every comic strip. Most would think that the combination of dry wit and these simply drawn silly looking characters wouldn't work, but they do. The expressions that Mr. Hart incorporates in every character plus the silly punchlines will make you confused whether to laugh at the joke or the characters. B.C. has stood the test of time and is still as funny as it was back in the 1950's.
