Further to earlier: B.C.‘s been running for 55 years. I’ve been following for 50+/-. What appeals was Hart’s wit/humor about his caveman society, and so his ability to allude to the present. Without being blatant. As could Schulz and Watterson.
Lamer and lamer. I’ve been a fan since the characters were wide and squat. The situations have become too blatantly contemporary, and Curls, Wiley and The Fat Broad are the only standout characters. My all-time favourite strip: BC and Curls watching Clumsy Carp crossing a plain – panel 1: BC says “You’re on.”, panel 2: Clumsy trips over the only rock insight, panel 3: Curls says “Pay up.” Brilliant
I-me-my totally agree!
