Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A side-splitting collection of comic strips from one of the most popular cartoonists in history!

Legendary cartoonist, Johnny Hart, created two of the most popular comic strips in history: B.C. and Wizard of Id.  When he became a Christian in 1984, Johnny turned his trademark wit and humor to matters of faith.  Johnny passed away the day before Easter 2007 while at his drawing board.  "This book is a dream that Johnny and I shared," says his wife, Bobby. "I knew I had to finish our dream."

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and thought provoking, April 22, 2009

Just received my copy and it is as uplifting as it is fun to read . The majority of the strips are in color , this does add to the visual appeal . All fans of daily comics know that BC was drawn by Johny Hart who passed to his reward just a short time ago . This collection strips deals with the religious side of life and are humorous and thought provoking . Hart is only the second cartoonist to be publish in more than a thousand different papers and there is a reason for his popularity . His talent for drawing emotion with just a few lines of ink was a real gift .
This book captures him at his best don't miss the opportunity to get , read and laugh with him as shares some deep truths. God Bless .

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Hart will Never Die thanks to B.C., July 2, 2009

(What's this?)

Though I'm not a believer, not a born again person, I am a believer in the humor of Johnny Hart. When Johnny became a Christian in 1984 and started subtly inserting his beliefs into his comic strip it was a couple years, maybe more, before I figured out what he was doing and when I did figure it out I had to give him a nod. He was never pushy, always funny, always true to his characters.

Yes, this is a book of inspirational strips, but it overflows with Johnny's humor. If you're a lover of B.C. and I've been one since forever, then you'll appreciate and love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smiles rather than belly-laughs., May 30, 2009

By	D. Matlack "Guidedog" (in Wild Wyoming) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

(What's this?)

I grew up reading J. Hart's B.C. & The Wizard of Id. It is remarkable to me that this compilation of his Christian themed B.C. comics is so vast - and that it was all previously published in our daily newspapers with out the secular/athiest crowd not calling 'foul'.

The cartoons themselves are either gently funny or sentimental & moving, so you will not find a whole lot of out-right laughs here. But that is okay, with Mr. Hart's B.C. "Christian" comics all in one place we can all see how he rather methodically and quietly slipped his beliefs and message into the mainstream without much protest.

A remarkable feat with a remarkable message.
