WBNG has a follow-up to their story yesterday about Johnny Hart’s family taking over the B.C. feature after he passed away last April. This segment reveals some of the changes that have been made with the strip and who in the family is working on the strip. From the story we learn that Johnny’s daughter Perri Hart took over lettering and coloring, grandson’s Mick and Mason Mastroianni share writing responsibilities and Mason does the drawing. Mick has a strip in development with Creators entitled The Dogs of C Kennel.
Some of the changes they’ve made or intend to make include the artwork and writing.
When they first took over the strip, they tried to make it look exactly like Johnny Hart’s creation.
“I think we learned and realized that wasn’t really that necessary, that we have our own styles,” says daughter Peri Hart.
Johnny’s wife, Bobby, agrees.
She hopes fans will notice the new styles.
“I’m hoping soon it’ll take on a definite Mason look because over the years from the time John started this until now, the characters have probably changed 5,6,7 times,” says wife Bobby.
Readers may also notice a difference in the writing.
“The writing, I’m sure, has changed some. It’s getting sillier again. But that’s what we recall so much from my dad. And it’ll take a little bit younger feel, a more timely around what’s going on now a days,” says Peri.
