I just read on the associated press that Johnny Hart, creator of B.C., died of a stroke on Saturday at age 76. He was at work at his drawing table and apparently suffered a stroke. He died doing what God called him to do.
At the right I put up a copy of one of his easter sunday comics from a few years back. His simple way of putting things was always refreshing. I know I will miss his wit and humor, and his family will be in my prayers.
Rest in Christ Johnny. Till we meet on God's golden shore.

I looked forward to reading B.C. every year around Lent and Easter. I will dearly miss Johnny's confession of the Christian faith in such a simple yet direct manner.
My favorite of his Easter cartoon showed footsteps from the open tomb, across a body of water, and a snake complaining, "Hey, somebody just stepped on me!"
I remember that one. I too have always looked forward to Hart's comic strip, especially aroung Christmas and Easter.
