Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for June 30, 2016

As Roy Underhill (The Woodwright’s Shop on PBS) would say: “May the grain be with you!”.

As the saying goes, “measure twice, smash once”.

Usually it’s Clumsy Carp who has the weird skills.

That was easy!

He’s probably the ancestor of the first diamond cutters.

That hammer strike was quite a gem…

This reminds me of some of the outlandish exploits depicted in those old Hong Kong Swordplay movies. I saw one where a Martial Arts Hero threw a bunch of china cups in the air and caught them all, neatly stacked, on the tip of his sword. And BTW, they were all filled with tea…

Turning out wheels with one smash of a boulder is much trickier…..

B.C. seems to be a hunter/gatherer society. At no time have I seen them engaged in agriculture. So why would they need a calendar? It was the importance of knowing what time of year it was to the farmer that began the basis of the modern calendar.This is just another case of Peter inventing something of no need for his fellow men and placing a high importance in it.

Maybe they were trying to develop the earliest Old Farmer’sAlmanac.

Its the stone age.They knew their product.
