Johnny Hart died Easter Sunday. Hart was the creator of the B.C. comic strip but despite his attachment to cavemen and dinosaurs Hart was a Christian fundamentalist and young Earth creationist who often lampooned what he did not understand. He once said that his mother did not die as a Christian and so went to Hell, but he expected that when we went to Heaven his God would erase that knowledge from him so he wouldn't feel bad knowing about her eternal damnation.

I'm pleased anyone so twisted by that kind of belief system has been removed from our presence. Johnny Hart was a minor tumor on the sensibilities of America.

There are some graves I would dance upon.

Pre-Christian Christian cavemen?

[(Anonymous)]

I might not have minded the Christianity if it hadn't been so unartfully forced into *cavemen*. Where have these dinosaur riders heard about Easter and the like, and why do they talk about it as something that's already happened?

Come to think of it, Hart probably had answers for all my questions. *Dumb* answers.

So, anyone seen any *well-done* Christianity in the funny papers lately? Maybe in "Rose is Rose?"
