Cartoonist Johnny Hart, who won awards and acclaim for creating the BC comic strip, has died at the age of 76.
BC, which depicts a world populated by cavemen and dinosaurs, first appeared in 1958 and eventually reached more than 100 million people.
Mr Hart also co-created The Wizard of Id, the story of a run-down kingdom ruled by a tyrannical monarch.
Mr Hart's wife, Bobby, said he died of a stroke on Saturday while working at his New York home.
"He died at his storyboard," she told the Associated Press.
