It is a sad day for all who loved these strips for 50+ years, and for a truly giving and nice man.

Fitting he should pass today-a few years back he did an excellent Easter strip. It wasnt humorous at all, just acknowledgemnt of what the day meant..

Someone said of Cathy Seipp when she died that her death was our loss and Heaven’s gain.

I would say the same of Johnny Hart. Our loss. Heaven’s gain.

RIP for a guy who had the guts to stick up for his religious beliefs in the relentlessly secular little world of newspaper cartoons. His successors will be riding on the shoulders of a giant.

Great artist and strip.

I`ve been searching for the perfect FR zot. It was from a Wizard of Id.First frame had soldier holding speer on gaurd duty.Second frame, lightening bolt hits him with bold letters above saying “ ZOT! “.Third frame, he`s a blackened figure. Last frame, charcoal soldier still standing says, “ZOT who?”

Now that strip woulda made the perfect FR Zot. Thing is, could never find it :-(

Not only a great cartoonist and a great Christian, but because of the anteater in “B.C.”, probably as responsible as anybody for the creation of the “ZOT!”

Easter weekend’s got to be a pretty good time to get to heaven. Hope he’s enjoying it.

That is sad to hear! Surely there is a need for comics in Heaven, yes?

May God comfort and bless his family...

How sad.

BC is from whence out illustrious “ZOT” came.

Thank you for the notice. I have always enjoyed his two cartoon strips.

God bless Johnny Hart - for some reason, it seems fitting that ths day he should walk through the gates of Heaven and into the Arms of God!
