B.C.

A long-running newspaper comic strip collected into 27 digest-sized issues by Coronet Books, B.C. is the prehistoric world of Johnny Hart, filled with caveman gags, anachronistic humor, and a cast of characters who grapple with the eternal absurdities of modern life—all while wearing animal skins. Running from 1971 to 1985, the series showcases Hart’s signature minimalist art and witty, often philosophical one-liners, making it a beloved staple of the funny pages that helped define the gentle, clever humor of its era.
