John Lewis Hart (February 18, 1931 – April 7, 2007) was an American cartoonist noted as the creator of the comic strips B.C. and The Wizard of Id. Brant Parker co-produced and illustrated The Wizard of Id. Hart was recognized with several awards, including the Swedish Adamson Award and five from the National Cartoonists Society. In his later years, he was criticized for incorporating Christian themes and messages into his strips. Hart was referred to as "the most widely read Christian of our time," over C. S. Lewis, Frank E. Peretti, and Billy Graham, by Chuck Colson in a Breakpoint column.
