B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 03, 2023

best explanation i have seen so far

What the heck, why does this actually make sense, Peter?

It’d certainly explain Anno’s brief time in the strip.

On the other hand, maybe it’s all just a simulation.

He certainly made several people here happy just now.

So…. the red pill or the blue pill ??

I’ve heard some people use this theory to explain the Flintstones as a post-apocalyptic civilization after the Jetsons got blown up.

I was thinking that he may have gotten into the ‘lettuce’. But mushrooms work too.

I always thought that was BC canon.

Yet, if Wikipedia is correct, scientific consensus is that man evolved along side a group of maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs aka birds – see the article Origin of birds

After reading that, my head hurts…

So, if we keep going down the path of ecology, we’ll go nearly extinct, with only 5 men and 2 broads left in the world?

’Scuse me while I burn a few hundred thousand tires.

Oh, I love this one :-D

Just don’t recreate too many dinosaurs.

As good as any other origin story ( fairy tale) .

The magic one, of course!

What was it Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

It would explain why they celebrate Christmas despite being “B.C.”.

Heh, when I saw “A B.C. Christmas”, I thought, "So…is the strip going to be called “A.D.” now or what?"

The matrix doesn’t disprove that the end came & went, thus we’d be in dæmonic delusion. It’s more noticeable where people’s happy little bubbles collide.

Sounds like where the Jurassic Park franchise is heading.

Can I please have two of what he’s on?

It’s 7:30 on a Sunday morning. . .are you freakin’ kidding me?!? I’ll be back later . . . ;)

I was once taken to task by a pastor who wrote in an editorial that evolution was racist. I did not dispute his scripture, but I did point out that evolution states that we all are descendants of black people from Africa.

The response came in not in the form of counter-fact, but in the form of many Christians inviting me to revivals so they could save my soul.

Glad the ole boy has someone to talk too…….history lesson….maybe science!!!!!

So the brown haired guy is calling Peter a Good Lord? It must still be the Feudal Period because today Peter would be called Saint Peter with his far out theories. Do you follow me?

Well, that was a fun trip! Didn’t I see it flash by in the first episode of Futurama?

Very well done and very funny

At last the explanation!!!

“Everything we see or seem is but a dream within a dream” ~ E. A. Poe

BC confirming the long held fan theory lol

I always figured it was a Creation Science strip (as in it inspired Creation Science, not the other way around.)

oh, ok, well, it’s a thought

Sounds like Harris

This is an argument that a schizophrenic Michael Crichton might engage in.

Assuming the Big Bang happened, planets close to it would have had to form before ours, and evolution would have had to happen very fast to create a civilization more advanced than ours. I find this to be a very unlikely scenario.

Hence what happened in Jurassic World movies.

Life finds a way.

“We’re here, because we’re here, because we’re here, because we’re here. We’re here, because we’re here, because we’re here, because we’re here….”

He ate the RED Mushroom!

Several movies have been made about this.

Why, were you saving the mushrooms for a special occasion?

Well, that’s a very similar premise to the Shannara books by Terry Brookes. Reading the original books, there are only occasional hints of it being a post apocalyptic world. It’s not until you read the prequel series that it becomes clear.

Perhaps they live in Jurassic park after it was abandoned.

Why is it when someone has a theory most people respond like Thor? No need to reply. This is a rhetorical question

This is so prophetic! There may yet be hope for the human race.

Example of ‘post hoc ergo propter hoc’ … often used by politicians when describing their opponents.

Industrialist John Hammond in his first inception of Jurassic Park…

Did they just confirm an long running fan theory?

Sounds like a plot synopsis for Jurassic Park.

Best. B.C. strip. Ever.

Johnny Hart was kind of running with this idea in his last years of doing the comic.

There is a theory that Disney’s “Aladdin” is not set in the past but in a post-apocalyptic future. Then it all makes a lot more sense, from the Tupperware to the submarine and Jack Nicholson references.

It’s not so far-fetched. After all, scientists are still trying to create Artificial Intelligence when we’re pretty sure its first action will be to destroy mankind…

Versions of this theory have been floating around for decades in B.C.

One of your VERY best!! You had me at “oh good lord!”

I prefer the post-WWIII scenario.
