Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for January 26, 2017

Ooooh, now there’s a symbiotic relationship that we should cultivate more often, especially with the spread of fire ants and crazy ants.

Bullet ants, meet the ant-gun.

(I know, I know, bullet ants are black…)

They look black to me. Artist could have made a bit of an effort.

discovery can often bring painful awakenings

Anteater Control! Anteater Control!!!

And thus Man created the NRA.

No, they are black ants. You know those ants, right?

So, Friday’s strip is a repeat of Thursday’s because. . .??

I just noticed that Johnny Hart is recommending other comic strips from beyond the grave!

That’ll get those nasty red fire ants! When I was a kid playing in the grass I needed an anteater not a dog!

Nothing new for Friday?

Migawd, we’re only up to 1959 and they’ve run out of archive material!

Another strip I will miss. Grin and Bear It was the first on my list.

With how often things go updated for days, and how Peanuts has been off a day for over a month, it’s clear GoComics pays very little attention to these once they initially set them up

Darn. This was one of my favorite strips. Hart was so much a better author than his grandson Mason. I’ll keep on trying, though. Maybe they will bring it back.

8/1/59: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=a_xOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6AAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5874%2C4365394

Still looking for 8/2.

8/2/59 was a Sunday, no wonder it’s so difficult to find. Here’s 8/3: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bfxOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6AAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6010%2C5514781

Well I was pleased enough at first, but now I have to join in the chorus that this new format SUCKS.

Is this the end of the Classics? They’re so much better than the modern strip, I’m going to miss them

Here is an excellent resource for BC Sunday pages. Not well organized, but plenty of scans from the earliest days including many Sundays in color: http://allthingsger.blogspot.com/search/label/B.C.

I don’t understand why they can’t continue the strip from where they left off. I hate when comics don’t update every day!

Hello, Is anyone still working here? Change the strip, already.

Grrrr. I want my B.C.!

Are they stuck in time? Where’s The Doctor when you need him?

I guess it’s time to take this strip off “My Comics Page” since it does not look like we’re ever going to go on from here.

Stuck on 1/26? Like above, guess its time to delete from list. But Annie got stuck like this for several days. Wish they could post a note as to status.

I just sent an email via the contact us page. I realized that a “Back to” series" wouldn’t end as it has lots of material.

@ Lee Dawson -

Lots of material! Johnny Hart put out many years of this, every single day including Sunday strips, unlike some cartoonists today who only put out 2 or 3 a week.

It could also be that Hart’s family have stopped sending his strips to Gocomics. Maybe they don’t like the comparison of the original strip to their new one.

BC has stopped evolving
