Johnny Hart was, in his own way, a proselyte of Christianity.

He shall be missed here, but after doing God’s work, he has gone home.

He always had a message at Easter. Off to search

May his memory be eternal!

I read the strip every day for years. I hope it will continue for a while, even if they use “repeats.” I suppose the local paper will replace it with something not as good, or with some kind of left wing slant.

How sad.

BC is from whence out illustrious “ZOT” came.

Thank you for the notice. I have always enjoyed his two cartoon strips.

Two of my favorite cartoons, the others being Bloom County and Calvin & Hobbes.

What a precious joyful ministry he had. I’m sure he led many to stop and think about his profound messages, and many more to Christ. I’m sure he’s already heard his “well done, thou good and faithful servant.” His cartoons were usually the only things worth reading in the newspapers.

This morning was his first in Heaven.

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.

Mr. Hart was never ashamed of Him who set him free.

What a great commentator and cartoonist who wasn’t intimidated by the PTB and always spoke his mind to Glorify God.

Now FR ZOT!s will be coming from heaven!

I did not know that the same person created both of those strips. I never made the connection.

Whenever I had the occasion to look at them, I appreciated that the strips were always succinct.

(Gary Larson was another great one for that talent.)

When compared to Doonesbury, and others of that sort, Johnny Hart was a Giant, and a man with a heart.

RIP!

BC has always been one of my favorite comic strips (and one of the very few that I read BTW). God has called a good man home!
