  1. b.c.

    "B.C." is an abbreviation for "Before Christ," a designation used in the Gregorian calendar to signify the years before the birth of Jesus Christ. This term is traditionally used in Western cultures to reference a year in history. However, it has been largely replaced by "BCE" (Before Common Era) in academic and scientific communities to avoid religious bias.

  1. B.C.

    B.C. is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Johnny Hart. Set in prehistoric times, it features a group of cavemen and anthropomorphic animals from various geologic eras. B.C. made its newspaper debut on February 17, 1958, and was among the longest-running strips still written and drawn by its original creator when Hart died at his drawing board in Nineveh, New York on April 7, 2007. Now, the strip is produced by Hart's grandsons Mason Mastroianni and Mick Mastroianni, and Hart's daughter Perri. The Mastroianni Brothers also created an original strip, The Dogs of C Kennel, in 2009. It is syndicated by Creators Syndicate.
