It's still in syndication, 66 year down the road. Hart's grandson is doing the strip these days, as well as Wizard of Id. Took till 2019 for him to stop calling the token female characters Fat Broad and Cute Chick.
Is he an antisemitic Islamophobic christofascist like his grandfather was?
Sure, who doesn't like sort-of-unicycles? The only thing better than a stone-wheeled unicycle would be a metal one, perhaps with chariot scythes on the axles.
It's just the comic that has some kind of nasty connotations for folks who recall it from the 80s.Honestly, I don't know, although from a brief look I don't see any mention of it since he took over. On the one hand, his perpetuation of the sexist character nicknames until a mere five years ago was pretty rotten and a bad sign. On the other hand, from the couple of handfuls of modern strips I looked at yesterday (after being reminded BC existed) I didn't see anything terrible (or original, or funny), just the same gag strip it was for over two decades before the gramps found his god and started with the obvious bigotry in print.
