B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for April 02, 2020

Ask her to hold it for a second while you get comfortable.

Jane is RIGHT. Just be out of the way when that stone starts rolling……,

Carrying the weight of the world is burdensome.

(That’s why I come here, to unload.)

I like her idea.

“Whatchya doing?”

“Holding a big rock over my head.”

“Alrighty then!”

Let it fall, right on her toe, that will give you a head start in the chase that follows…

I think he did. Four or five times. Or maybe he got kicked by a dinosaur as a baby.

Time to rock and roll!

All I’m seeing is that Atlas holding up the world thing…

The FB always contributes some enlightening observation. Such an altruist.

It’s only a matter of time when his arms tire…..

I had two extremely intelligent bosses.

One of them also had the distinction of being a narcissist and a compulsive liar. I did not see a lot of evidence for his intellectual prowess, but was told by his boss (the CEO) and some of his peers how smart he was. He was an excellent B.S. artist and even had me fooled for a couple of months. His brilliance was in his ability to convince other people that he was smart.

The other one would have been OK except that he had no patience for people who could not see and solve problems as easily as he could. This guy’s IQ was in the stratosphere. He was definitely MENSA material.

He was an excellent planner who expected everything in life to fall into his project plan. 5:30 AM to 7:30 AM was “children time” where he would “bond” with his then-infant son. Unfortunately I did not stay in the job long enough to watch the kid grow up. I wondered how well a teenager would conform to the plan.

Some people are too smart for their own good.

“Everybody must get stoned.”

On your head lady.

Yes, unfounded beliefs can be a great burden.

No skin off my nose there Atlas. Just warn me if you feel a sneeze coming on.

A guy holding a big rock above his own head, intellectual superiority is not what comes to mind… ☺

I think mister intellectually superior means “represents” not “reflects.”

I have the book B.C. Color Me Sunday from 1977. At the beginning of the book, there are pages with daily strips for each character and a description of said character. For Peter, he is described as, “A self-styled genius. The world’s first philosophical failure…and a mogul of forced enterprise.”

We all have our rocks to bare.

Charles, we know, we know, just keep your distance
