B.C. in Other Media

  • The characters were featured in two animated television specials. B.C.: The First Thanksgiving first aired on NBC in 1973, was directed by Abe Levitow, and featured the voice talents of Daws Butler (as B.C. and Clumsy), Don Messick as Peter and Thor, Bob Holt as Wiley and Grog, and Joanie Sommers as Fat Broad and Cute Chick.
  • B.C.: A Special Christmas was produced in 1981, and starred the comedy team of Bob and Ray as the voices of Peter and Wiley, respectively.
  • The characters appeared in animated commercials for Monroe shocks in the late 1980s. They were also licensed by Arby's restaurants in 1981, which issued a collector set of 6 B.C. cartoon character drinking glasses.
  • B.C. was turned into two video games for the ColecoVision home video game system and the Atari 800 and Commodore 64 home computers: B.C.'s Quest for Tires and B.C. 2: Grog's Revenge.
  • Clumsy Carp was present at the 75th anniversary party of the comic strip Blondie.
  • The strip was referred to in an unflattering light in a typically snide joke from an episode of Family Guy. Stewie Griffin says that he is going to do to his archnemesis what B.C. does to comedy on a daily basis.
  • Francesco Marciuliano's webcomic Medium Large once spoofed B.C. with a strip in which Clumsy notes that "Easter is this Sunday", to which Peter asks whether they're "even pretending to be cavemen anymore".

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    “One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
