So BC was more accessible BC?

I always appreciated Mr Hart’s ‘religion’ strips. I liked that a cartoonist was willing to express his beliefs so publicly.

I loved the original BC.
Nearly every office or cubicle or desk had a favorite BC strip taped or tacked to it.
Then Johnny Hart got religion and used BC to promote it. End of BC. A wide range of objections, and most papers pulled it. I have been looking for BC collections for years now, with little success (within my budget, that is). Most have been snapped up.

That original BC was a 3 panel strip, with the wheelie rider passing a “Dip in Road” sign, then the last panel coming upon the dip sitting there. Still love that strip, would love to see the whole thing again.

And Curls’ joke would work better if the punchline were delivered by a third person.

Otherwise, by the third panel he forgot what he said in the first panel, and also what the words meant.

Wait until you’re diabetic. Then you’ll have no problem.

Mark’s and indgeek’s jokes would work better if the punchlines were delivered by a third person.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen the BC dip, but it didn’t impair the joke for me. The bad set up did. You don’t tell someone they need to make Budweiser or anti-freeze. You just ask them how, and when they don’t know, then you tell them.

Chinese waiter : How about some won ton?

Diner : What’s won ton?

Waiter : About 2000 lbs.

(Come on - puns are always good - even recycled.)

Like Liam Neeson’s line in “The Dead Pool:”

“It’s not a rip-off, it’s… an homage!”

My wife is hypoglycemic. I’ve never heard the phrase “hypoglycemic dip” before. It sounds to me like one of those over-strained setups to a gag. And yes, it’s really the same old gag.
