I admire your optimism, Gunnar, but I don't think BC ever experiences embarrassment. If he responds at all it will just be to claim some dubious victory and retreat.
Deep sigh! You are probably right.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Any good apologist tries to make his case, no matter how deficient the material is that he has to work with. Give Bc credit for being diligent.

Well, I guess that's OK. After all, every time he does that, he only further weakens his own credibility, so that is good for us. Right?

Oh my god . . . I just choked on my chicken wing because this made me laugh so hard. That is, in my opinion, absolutely the best and most hilarious "BC"space you've done so far. That's saying a lot because they've all been so funny. But this one knocked the ball out the park . . . passing through bc's head along the way, of course.
Bravo!

I wish I could take credit for it.
It's one of the first BC cartoons I posted many threads back. It's an original one I found online and it gave me the idea to create a few of my own. Pretty much all the others you have seen are mine arranged around Hart's brilliant characters and wit.
Johnny Hart, the creator of the BC comic strip, died in 2007. I still owe him my apologies.
