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.
… 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.

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

Of course it’s not what Johnny Hart would write, he’s dead.

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.

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

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.
