Clumsy Carp

Clumsy Carp is a fish character inhabiting the prehistoric comic-strip world of Johnny Hart's B.C., sharing the sun-baked landscape with cavemen like B.C. and Peter. True to the name, the character brings bumbling, humor-driven antics to the Stone Age setting.

An endearing fixture of the prehistoric comic strip world, Clumsy Carp made their Silver Age debut in 1967 and spent nearly two decades swimming through the sun-baked, wisecracking landscape of Johnny Hart's B.C. universe — sharing the page with beloved caveman characters like B.C., Peter, Fat Broad, and Grog. Appearing across titles like The Menomonee Falls Guardian and B.C. Lover's Leap under the Street Enterprises banner, this character is a charming piece of comics history for any collector with a soft spot for the wit and warmth that defined the B.C. strip's long run. With only 12 catalog appearances, Clumsy Carp is a genuine rarity — the kind of find that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
