You're a step ahead of me again, Richard. I see that the versions are the same.

You're quite right. B.C. Doesn't hint nor hedge. As I recall, it's also the only comic that acknowledged Palm Sunday and Good Friday. You should be able to access the version I saw by clicking on the B.C. link. (P.S. Thanks for contributing!)

Here's a link to B.C. for Easter Sunday. I think the message runs a clever line between the zealots and the skeptics, without losing either group.

The Easter Sunday funnies have already been thrown out. I wanted to look again at the comic strip B.C. that appeared in The South China Morning Post. The old cave man was sitting under a tree writing about Jesus. There was no hedging or apologizing for his beliefs. It wasn't hinting, it was blatant sermonizing, but just right. Might it have been different from the version you saw? Maybe the message had to be toned down for American audiences. I realized later a bit of perhaps unintentional humor: B.C. stands for Before Christ.
