B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for January 19, 2018

“When up through the ground come a bubblin’ crude”.

What luck!

“Just think! In 100,000 years we can all be wealthy oil barons! First, somebody has to invent the car. Then we….”

Damn fracking!

If only automobiles were invented…

Black gold Texas Tea so he loaded up his family and moved to Beverley Hills that is

Crude oil. How impolite.

There is more powerful humor in our comments today than in the strip. Now I remember why I read the comments!

He should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque.

Sink a well and retire.

Like the magazine. How do I better my cave?

Like the magazine. How do I better my cave?

(the battle in my mind right now)—-left-side: there are dinosaurs alive, it hasnt had 65 million years to turn into crude oil yet. Right-side: there are people, its not that long ago. left-side:dinosaurs in the comic right-side.. flintstone-reality, let it go.

Well, at least he won’t have to be embalmed when he dies. The oil will do that for him.

…but the dinosaurs are still walking around…

So you’ll have the whole thing

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed

A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,

And then one day he was shootin at some food,

And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed’s a millionaire,

The kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”

Said “Californy is the place you ought to be”

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

[Closing Theme:]

Well now it’s time to say good bye to Jed and all his kin.

And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.

You’re all invited back next week to this locality

To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillbilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y’all come back now, y’hear?
