Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for November 18, 2021

Welcome back to reality.

How did they know they were B.C.?

Always helps to sneak in a plug.

That’s in ant years.

In one strip, a caveman said it was 1,000,000 BC. Now I’m so confused.

Are the humans 13,000 years old?

Is this a strip that’s 13,000 years post the B.C. strip?

Are ant years really really short?

Do ants have their own, different calendars?

I’m gonna be up all night.

But talking ants are normal?

Thank God I live in this era, imagining having to write 987,000 B.C. on every check written?

Lol

But every year you’re a year younger.

If they are at 987,000 B.C.(E.) then the dinosaurs should be dead for about 65,000,000 years. But this is a comic strip with no connection to reality.

B. G. (before glasses)

Well I watched the TV show “La Brea” last night. Where people fell thru a sinkhole (The La Brea tar pit) and found themself in another time or universe? That, must be what happened to B.C.’s crew, including the ants. Fell thru a multiverse sinkhole. They now live in the Comic universe, where anything goes. So just accept this as the new reality. The year is 987,000 B.C. and they got dinosaurs.

I think it’s BCE (before common era) now, but still, I not sure there is any reason for them to know that.

If there are no glasses, what is Clumsy Carp wearing?

There, I’ve run rings round you logically.

It will always be “B.C/A.D..”. I will never switch to BCE/CE because of my beliefs. “Common Era”? Maybe somebody can change our calendar also if they wanted to get rid of BCE/CE designations and just say this is year 5,782 or something.

987,000 Brilliant Comics!

Maybe that is in humant years.
