Talk:Johnny Hart

Color
Johnny Harts' style is very much like flipping through a very old photo album in sepia come to life in animation. The essence of bewitching grace prevails with the older black and white material. Anyone know if he had the opportunity to work with color?

In my research which has expanded this article, I found no evidence of early work with color, though obviously his Sunday B.C. strips have been colored for quite a few years now - probably back to 1970 or before. 209.221.223.20 06:19, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC) avnative

Rather than merely state that his work has become controversial, I expanded with information which should be fair and NPOV. The details are there, and the reader can decide for themself. 209.221.223.160 avnative 2 June 2004

Disputed section
''Johnny Hart was a Spanish man born September 16, 1939 and depicted with much forsight the monarchy of Spain in fantasy by cartoon. It was a very dark series but created very much attention from the media. The series he named "Hartarchy In Vitro". Some titles include: The Haunted Castle, Tune River Melody, The Princess, her lover, and a hostage, The Virgin, In Dreams Escape.''

This man's existence has been called into question on the "Votes for deletion" page. -- Oliver P. 15:30, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The Wizard of Id and B.C.
Does Johnny Hart's death mean that both comics are ended, or will they be continued? The article states nothing relative to this. --myselfalso 01:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe no one knows yet. --Golbez 02:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the Yahoo article strips will be produced in the foreseeable future because others were working on them as well as Hart, and he has an extensive back-catalog to work from. --Dcamin 01:52, 9 April 2007 (EST)


 * According to the BBC, he had a computer archive of his work and some help from his family, which means that the strips WILL continue.

Controvery Section
I feel like the controversy section belongs only in the Wikipedia article for the B.C. strip itself. Not to say it isn't relevant in here, but this article is a biography on Johnny Hart himself - the controversy was attached to the strip, which has it's own article that also addresses (with graphics) the controversy. Thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dcamin (talk • contribs) 15:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

UC Irvine Mascot
As near as I could tell the Anteater was not drawn by Hart, but was definitely inspired by the B.C. characters: http://www.admissions.uci.edu/mascot.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dcamin (talk • contribs) 15:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC).

Bit late to the party, but that's correct. The UCI "Zot" graphic was drawn by a school employee. Here's a link to a rendition of the mascot by Hart, which is markedly different.  Aar  ►  21:54, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BC Hart turtle.gif
Image:BC Hart turtle.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Tribute
I just found a Jonny Hart tribute in my Non Sequitur calendar, but I don't know the date of original publication. Not sure if it's worth noting in the article, or how to find the original publication date. Super Aardvark (talk) 08:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Textbooks
Growing up, I had the unexpected good fortune to encounter two textbooks Hart had illustrated (mostly with BC, ID comics). One on basic economics and another on geometry (which was also inspired by MC Escher). I have not been able to find bibliography information on these, but think the addition would be useful and relevant to this site. Anybody here have a higher skill level in Find Obscure Book?

Molestation claim
I see no reference for the statement that he was molested. A: this needs to have back up, and B: it seems to have no place in the article, even if it isn't just trolling (I.e., as a result he worked to stop sexual abuse). As is, it seems to call for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.132.51 (talk) 03:50, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

"Personal life" section
This section really has nothing about his personal life, it's almost exclusively about his "B.C." comic strip and how it was used to promote things in Hart's hometown area.

I think more about his life (growing up, wife, children, education, philanthropy, etc.) must be included; otherwise, I think the section title should be changed to something like "How Hart used B.C." 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 20:57, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
