   This is not like Johnny Hart. Kids read this comic. I’m disappointed.

    If the ASPCA are lurking behind that rock, Dick is going to have his butt in a sling! Surprisingly nasty strip this morning.

    This would be one time I would support P.E.T.A..Mr. Hart, shame on you! Your grandfather is looking down from heaven shaking his head.

    Never remember reading this story as a kid!
    Why did Spot hide the kindling?

    Old man Hart would never have written anything as mean-spirited as this.

    Well, unless Spot wasn’t a Christian.

    Wow that is in seriously bad taste, not a joke at all! I would like to see a reprimand for that strip. Unless I see an apology, I will not continue to read BC.

    Have a look at http://johnhartstudios.com/jhs_blog/ if you haven’t already. Even they admit it was a bad idea.

    I Checked on the Orange County Register (Ca) website & they have a subistiute strip for the offending strip for today.

    In fact the john hart studios issued an apology for the offensive strip stating that in was in very poor taste & published a new strip to replace today’s strip.

    Yes they have. I was just there. For BC fans that have not visited the site, they got some need stuff and something for Wizard of Id fans as well.

    if anyone views today’s BC strip here on GoComics & notice another strip has replaced the original one for today. Go to www.johnhartstudios.com & click readers feedback to see the original offending strip & a apology that was issued by the studio for today’s strip.
    P.S. The Spanish Language version of today’s BC strip is still here on GoComics.

    I’m so happy I missed the first strip, Thank You! Great call! Loved this strip, thanks again

    I think the replacement strip is much better. However, what I really find disturbing regarding the original strip is that no one would find it offensive if it was a reptile or an amphibian that was being harmed instead of a dog. Don’t get me wrong, I can laugh at the Fat Broad beating up the snake, but I just can’t see how dogs are in any way superior to frogs, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortises, alligators, crocodiles, and toads.

    Glad I missed it as well. Love BC.

    I’ve seen comments come & go like that, but this is the first time a strip was changed. & yeah, it was pretty offensive. Glad to see it gone.

    … just can’t see how dogs are in any way superior to frogs, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortises, alligators, crocodiles, and toads.

    One opinion is that dogs, cats, and many other mammals have a consciousness and can feel pain and loss. Reptiles have a very small brain with no capacity for consciousness. Whether this is really true is hard to say, but most neuroscientists would agree with that. In other words, reptiles and insects and fish (not aquatic mammals) are mere collections of chemicals and their reactions are simply unconscious built in survival mechanisms. It makes no more sense to pity them than to pity a glass of sulfuric acid. But there’s no way to be sure. I’ll stomp a roach, but a snake I’ll pick up and put somewhere where my wife won’t see him, because I’m not sure where that fine line is.
