B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 20, 2019

Still not quite up to Tim ’ the Toolman’ Taylor’s level.

Wouldn’t that many make it a burning bush?

If those are real candles, your tree is doomed.

When you have to use Google to figure out a joke, the cartoon loses its effectiveness. Not that it was that funny, anyway.

I hope that cave is well ventilated, and there are no fire hazards around.“Now,” is not the time to invent carbon monoxide poisoning and third degree burns…….,

Looks like BC live’s in Maine, given the location of that “ping”

Is limestone fireproof?

Doesn’t beat Buddy Hall.

Okay, some one call the fire department, or a really drooly dinosaur. That thing is going up in about 5 minutes.

Looks to be somewhere near NY, NY.

“40,000 Points of Light”!

If one goes out, do they all go out?

One second later, the entire tree goes WHOOSH! (huge fireball).

Candles and dry pine go together like matches and gasoline.

Five seconds later they discover the beginning of what is later known as the laws of thermodynamics. And fire control.

[PING!] [FOOF!] [SIZZLE!] “Groannn…”

40,000 candles on a tree in a cave would be a a blast furnace. Can’t imagine how he could have lit them all.

Drum roll please.

Is that Atlantis off the coast?

And another tree goes up in flames.

Candles on a drying tree. I can’t imagine why THAT tradition went away.

Hope that cave has ventilation.

Children, children…! Reading these comments — have we lost the magic of simple cartoon belief?

I know the network Ping test was old, but that old? Speed-testers often use it to determine your speed, and not by using a Tinker to Evers to Chance route. Gees.

So that is what started the first extinction level event – a huge forest fire that consumed all the plant life on earth!

Yeah, he’s a real pain in the @$$!
