B.C. cartoonist's widow says he got to heaven ahead of her
NINEVEH, N.Y. (AP) — Johnny Hart's widow says the B.C. cartoonist, who died Saturday at their home in upstate New York, “is in a better place.”
But with a laugh, Bobby Hart she says she's “mad at him,” because she “wanted to be there first.” She adds that they had hoped to go to heaven together in the Rapture.
The 76-year-old Hart often incorporated his Christian faith into his comic strip, including the one that appeared on Easter Sunday, the morning after his death.
Hart's pastor says it's appropriate that the Easter strip contained Jesus' promise of resurrection and eternal life.
The funeral will be held Friday at Nineveh Presbyterian Church, where Johnny Hart taught Sunday school to teen-agers and children for years.
