Brant Parker follows Johnny Hart (comic BC) to the grave.

Weird. Johnny Hart, one of the creators of the prehistoric (almost literally) comic strip BC died last week. Today, his lifelong creative collaborator, Brant Parker, died at the age of 86.

NEW YORK Brant Parker, who worked on "The Wizard of Id" comic with Johnny Hart, died yesterday at the age of 86.

His death came just eight days after Hart died at the age of 76.

Creators Syndicate, which distributes "The Wizard of Id" to more than 1,200 newspapers, confirmed Parker's death when contacted today by E&P, and said it would issue a statement soon.

The Los Angeles-born Parker -- who won the National Cartoonists Society's 1984 Reuben Award as top cartoonist -- also worked as a newspaper staff artist, editorial cartoonist, magazine cartoonist, greeting card artist, IBM advertising/promotion person, and at Walt Disney Productions during his career.

The 43-year-old "Wizard of Id," like Hart's 49-year-old "B.C." comic, will be continued by family members.
