Johnny Hart

John Lewis "Johnny" Hart (February 18, 1931  April 7, 2007) was an American cartoonist noted as the creator of the comic strips B.C. and Wizard of Id. Brant Parker co-produced and illustrated Wizard of Id. Hart was recognized with several awards, including the Swedish Adamson Award and five from the National Cartoonists Society. In his later years, he sparked controversy by incorporating overtly Christian themes and messages into the strips. Hart was referred to as "the most widely read Christian of our time," over C. S. Lewis, Frank Peretti, and Billy Graham, by Chuck Colson in a Breakpoint column.

    Famous quotes by Johnny Hart:

    "If you really look at humor, that's what most of it is anyway. Somebody wisecracking at somebody else. Putting them down. If you look at all the sitcoms, that's all sitcoms are today. Things never change. Sardonic, sarcastic humor is always prevalent. It's hard to do something funny without being that way. It's classier if you didn't have to resort to it, I think."
    "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation."
    "By bouncing a word, visually, you're putting in an inflection, you know, the way a sentence should be if somebody heard it spoken. And I think a lot of humor depends on inflection, how a person says something. Certain things you could say as a question, and as a statement."
    "One of the things that I always sort of pride myself on - although we're not supposed to have pride... is that my sense of humor, if anything, was well-rounded, and you know how I discovered that? It's because everything funny that ever happened to me, or everything that happened to me, made me laugh. If I fell down the stairs I'd lay there and laugh."

    You Still Own Me

    by: Johnny Reid

    I put a for sale sign on the front of my truck
    Said call anytime cause I'm always up
    Make an offer, one that I won't refuse
    I bought a one way ticket on a west bound plane
    Four hours later I was wearing shades in California
    Just hanging loose
    I didn't pack one memory
    Oh and even though i'm free
    I can go where I wanna go
    Do what I wanna do
    Be who I wanna be
    But baby
    You still own me
    Say what I wanna say
    Hear what I wanna hear
    Dream what I wanna dream
    But baby
    You still own me
    I was up all night cause I couldn't sleep
    Instead of staring at the ceiling I hit the beach
    I took a long walk, it didn't help me much
    Sat down in the sand with a handful of shells
    Kicked off my shoes while me myself and I watched
    The sun come up
    Looking out across the sea
    It's finally dawned on me
    (Repeat Chorus)
    Maybe I'm not in your arms
    But you still own my heart

    Cash is king… sometimes

    Manila Bulletin 05 Mar 2025
    The phrase "cash is king" first appeared in George N ... But is it really true that cash is king? ... While some may believe "cash is king," I think the golden rule from the 1967 comic strip The Wizard of ID by Brant Parker and Johnny Hart is more fitting.
