Hurray for B.C. #12845

Three prehistoric oddballs — one clutching an apple, one leaning in with a sly grin, and a third hauling a stone wheel — practically burst off the vivid red cover of this Fawcett Gold Medal collection of Sunday B.C. strips by Johnny Hart. Gathering selected cartoons from The Sunday Best of B.C., it's a cheerful snapshot of Hart's wonderfully absurd Stone Age humor at its most relaxed and playful. The foreword by Bill Mauldin, who called Hart's wit "brilliant," sets exactly the right tone for an afternoon well spent with these cave-dwelling comics.
