Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for March 26, 2024

OK, that’s a wrap…

I had to read it a couple of times slowly to get it, genius.

With the curled around end, that’s actually a wrecking bar and not a crowbar, but most people get them mixed up and recognise the curled end one as the crowbar.

Plus the joke wouldn’t work……..

Impressive strength.

Wise guy gets a ‘thoughtful if hard to anticipate’ response. : )

Well, that spiralled out of control…..

This kind of comedy brilliance was what got me hooked on BC when I was in middle school. That’s been close to fifty years ago, and I’m still hooked.

I love Johnny Hart’s puns and B.C.’s reaction to this one. Hart did what I consider to be the best ‘fly in my soup’ gag of all time. I have it in one of the Fawcett books but do not know the date. WILEY, sitting at Peter’s Lunch Counter. “WAITER! There’s a fly in my soup!” PETER: “There can’t be. I used them all in the raisin bread!”
