Goddammit, Johnny Hart (B. C. Cartoonist)!

I think it’s funny that BC pisses certain people off…just as Doonesbury pisses other certain people off. Get over it.

Again, those strips are five years old. You’ll only find new Liberty Meadows stuff in comic books and graphic novels.

Sure, except Doonesbury is(*) funny and insightful.

(* = Well, it’s been in a slow skid, but it still has its moments. The stuff from the late 60s and 70s were effing brilliant, though…)

Much ado about nothing.

Not always. The San Jose Mercury News kicked his ass out after one too many Easter “all you heathen are going to hell” strips. Capitalism at work, I love it.

And another vote for his old strips being good. Then he got religion, and decided his own mother was going to hell.

Well, my understanding is that the law would require positive identification as an adult for a large number of non-porn sexually related sites, such as health sites and even possibly museums. The court found that the requirement for identification would keep adults away from material that was permissible for them to see. Also, they found that filters were a more effective way of preventing children from seeing inappropriate sites.

This is especially true since the law would not affect site hosted outside of the US, therefore parents caring would still need filters.

If this law were ever enforced, the hard core pay porn sites would be affected least, while free educational sites would be affected the most. Or, to be brief, Congress screws it up again.

I’m pretty sure I posted this link before, but in case you missed it the first time:

God, That’s Funny – Until He Started Drawing Cartoons about Jesus.
It’s an article from the Washington Post. It’s about 5 years old, but still…interesting.

Wow. I just read that article. “Nutjob” doesn’t come close.

and this is the scariest of all:

Wow. Can you say “arrogant”? No? Well “wacko” will do just fine. If heaven is full of people like Hart, then I won’t be crying outside the gates when they don’t let me in. :rolleyes:

In any case, I thought Jews worshipped the same god as Christians? So what is he blithering about “your God”?

I suppose it could be argued that the Christian God is the trinity, which Jews obviously don’t believe in. But then Hart would think Jews only worship 1/3 or 2/3 of God, so maybe that’s not it.

First, trying to get serious theology out of Hart and his buffoons is like trying to get serious science out of the Old Testament.

Second, Hart’s god got nailed to a tree 2k years ago. Like Dionysus, but without quite as many wine and orgies.

Wow. It’s God as Joseph Stalin.

I have to say that this is just about the oddest religious belief that I can recall ever hearing about. “Yes, God may choose, in his infinite benevolence and wisdom, to condemn my dear mother to Hell for not worshiping him properly…but that’s okay, because God will alter my mind so that I don’t remember her, so I won’t care that she’s damned for eternity.” I can’t even begin to imagine how a person could manage to comfort themselves with that notion. (Presumably God would also have to excise the portions of your mind that might eventually wonder why other people in Heaven have two parents, but you only seem to have the one…) I once spent three hours conversing with a guy who claimed he could detonate atomic bombs inside the Hollow Earth using only the power of his mind, and nothing he had to say seemed as warped as Hart’s apparent take on the Afterlife.
