He's dead, Johnny Hart's dead. Johnny Hart, the creator of the B.C. comic strip that's running daily in The Star, is dead. He was 76 when he died last Saturday of a stroke. Although I did not enjoy those strips that had a religious undertone - and there were many - I enjoyed those thoroughly modern prehistoric characters like the guru on the hill, the ants, the advice-dispensing rock with the ridiculous "ching" sound effect, the snake and especially the fat lady that thumps the snake. Will we still see the strip now that Johnny's gone?
