B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for August 20, 2023

Maybe take a cue from the animals and put on some helmets.

Headed for trouble

wait! i’m not yet!

Until the final panel, I was thinking they were going with a football theme…

Plan ahead if you want to keep your head.

Is it a hole in one if the ball rolls back in the divot you just created?

“Wait! The foxes are still digging their fox holes.”

And they got up at the crack of dawn as well……

I asked our local pro to play 9 holes with me then give me an assessment of my game. He said, “Take 2 weeks off, then quit”.

Meanwhile, what is all of that contemporary-to-us wildlife doing in a B.C. comic strip?

Fore!!!!!!!!

There are so many animals on the golf course’s it is a wonder more aren’t killed.

You just never know where those balls land…

There’s a very funny newsreel of a Bob Hope classic golf tournament. The crowd gathers to watch Gerald Ford tee off as Hope watches.

Ford swings and the camera shows the eyes following the ball. It obviously hooks to the right and every face winces as the ball hits a spectator. Hope had a comment that I have forgotten and the crowd laughed. Ford never had any luck as just an average guy. Always something in his way.

Funny how all the animals know it the first day of hunting season.

“I’m alright…nobody worry ‘bout me. Why you got to gimme a fight? Can’t you just let it be?”

There is a big market for squirrel helmets now. Most have the Nike logo

I sometimes get into spells when I hit little but duck hooks.

ka-divot

Sorry, but when it comes to helmets in the comics, I’m a Heathcliff man all the way!

Back off Challenge!!

Helmets! Lovely helmets! Heathcliff disappoint today but not B.C.!

Never FOREgets to wears your helmet!

Now, this should have been in Caddyshack.

FORE-warned is FORE-armed

Very clever, very funny…

Everyone going into protective mode.

Channeling the movie Tin Cup now.

That’s funny!

OK!! And I thought it was about football season coming.
