Johhny Hart died today. He was the creator the BC comic strip and a Christian. It is appropriate that he died just after Easter. He came under great criticism once on an Easter Sunday comic that showed the link between Judaism and Jesus. This was deemed offensive by many Jews and his comic was pulled from many newspapers. Of course, it is only offensive to connect the cross to Judaism if one doesn't believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
Paul preached the crucifixion, saying that to Greeks, it was foolishness --to Jews, a stumbling block. In other words, the cross as the way of salvation is offensive to Jews and non-Jews alike.
Johnny Hart, thanks for your work. See you later, I'm sure.
