Two great cartoonists have died this year. Doug Marlette, who lived and worked in Tulsa, died this week in a tragic car accident, and Johnny Hart, who created the cartoon my eyes always lock on like a magnet to metal on a page full of comics. I’ll miss their wit and wisdom. The two cartoons below link to more about them and their work.
B.C. and Kudzu
Greg Taylor
My wife, Jill, and I have three children: Ashley, Anna, and Jacob. We live in Broken Arrow and I preach for The Journey: a New Generation Church of Christ in Tulsa (www.thejourneychurch.faith). I have a B.A. in Journalism and an M.Div. from Harding School of Theology in Memphis, Tennessee. Before coming to Tulsa, we lived in Nashville, Tennessee four years, where I worked with The Zoe Group and Wineskins Magazine. From 1994-2001 we lived in Jinja, Uganda, where we worked with a church planting team, an experience that forever changed our lives. With Randy Harris, I co-authored Living Jesus: Doing What Jesus Says in the Sermon on the Mount and you can learn about other books I've written at my web site, www.gregtaylor.org. My most recent book co-authored with Randy is Daring Faith: Meeting Jesus in the Book of John.
I read cartoons daily and there are some that I miss because the author died or decided to stop drawing.
Greg,
I thought you might be interested in my blog site, http://www.myataraxia.wordpress.com
I’m learning a lot and finding blogging to be enjoyable and a place to write my thoughts in a faster way than keeping a journal. I hadn’t heard that Johnny Hart died. B.C. has always been my favorite and I will miss it very much.
I enjoy reading your blog. I hope you will take a moment to look at mine.
Thanks!
Lora
