Description
The main character is BC, an orange haired, naive slob and eternal patsy, who along with his friend, Peter - the world's first philosopher and Thor - self-proclaimed ladies' man and the inventor of the wheel all inhabit an prehistoric world all too familiar to a modern day audience, there they ponder life and the universe, engage in the search for love and generally mooch about. Indeed you could call them the first hipsters!
Reviews / Votes
"This is an endearing, nostalgic, and sentimental journey for adult readers, certainly. However, the snappy humor holds up well enough to appeal to younger audiences, and the drawings are still captivating. Overall, a grand review of a mirthful creation." - Library Journal Starred Review"very entertaining and will evoke much joy at revisiting these characters. This is a book one might want to keep on the coffee table to share with others." Portland Book Review (four-star review)

John Lewis "Johnny" Hart (February 18, 1931 - April 7, 2007) was an American cartoonist noted as the creator of the comic strips B.C. and Wizard of Id.

Hart was recognized with several awards, including the Swedish Adamson Award and five from the National Cartoonist Society including the Reuben award for B.C. in 1968 and Wizard of Id in 1984. A devout Christian, Hart was often called "the most widely read Christian of our time," over C.S Lewis, Frank Peretti and Billy Graham.
