Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for December 16, 2022

That is brilliant. Just brilliant.

Little known fact: When the planet Uranus was discovered it was first named George (Georgium Sidus (the Georgian Planet) in honor of astronomer William Herschel’s patron, King George III).

Which came first? The planet or the worm?

What Imagine said. We lost Johnny Hart over 15 years ago; he had retired before then. But Hart was among the best and brightest; right up there with Walt Kelly and Bill Watterson. What fun to re-read it all!

that kinda poetry you would write when you don’t attend biology classes

I’ve never been to planet Earthworm, is it nice?

Earthworms. They’re not just for breakf… uh, bait.

Sound intriguing….better than a Uranus I guess!

I want to know why they named those cloth tubes on my feet after the neighbor’s cat…

“It’s because, when you are dead, I get to chew upon your head…”

Without no feet means they have feet!?

And the earthworm’s more-annoying cousin, the earworm

I memorized this verse back in the 60s because I thought it was brilliant. It still is!

“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.” Hamlet, IV, iii, 22.
