Hey! B.C.

 

By Johnny Hart


B.C was a daily newspaper comic strip starting in 1958. This is the first collection of the strips, copyright 1958 and 1959.

B.C. and his group are cave men trying to learn the ways of the world. There are also two cave women but unlike the cave men, who all have names, the cave women merely go by their description, the Cute Chick and the Fat Broad, sadly. (According to Wikipedia, this changed in 2016 with the cute one being named Grace and the ugly one Jane.) 

I loved the B.C. comics as a kid and as a young adult. Going back and rereading this first book in the series has been a real pleasure. Here are a couple strips from the book to enjoy.
