Johnny Hart, the great creator of the comic strip "BC" and co-creator (with Brant Parker) of the strip "The Wizard of Id" died of a stroke on Saturday, April 7th, while working at his storyboard at his home in Endicott, New York. He was 76. Endicott was his home town.
Hart was a committed Christian who was not afraid to let his Christianity show in his work. His Easter "BC" strips became famous for this and, on at least one occasion in 2001, got "BC" cancelled from some of the 1,300 papers it was carried in. "BC" began in 1958.
How appropriate that, on this Easter, Hart the creator is now gazing on the face of his Creator.
Please keep his family in prayer during this time.
