Cartoonist. In 1958, he created and launched the newspaper comic strip B.C. The strip, which features a caveman named B.C. and his prehistoric cohorts, has remained popular for five decades. His multi–award winning cartoon is enjoyed daily by more than 100 million readers in world wide syndication. He has lent his characters to promote many agencies and activities, including the Broome Dusters hockey team, BC Transit, Broome County Parks and the professional golf tournament which became the B.C. Open. B.C. has even participated in the nation's space program. In 1972, Hart received a public service award from NASA for outstanding contributions. He also collaborated with cartoonist Brant Parker on the comic strip The Wizard of Id. (bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith)
