Wizard of Id and B.C. have always been two of my favorite strips. Hart was a committed Christian, but never heavy-handed with it (well, at least not in earlier strips). He was great at breaking the fourth wall.

He got a little more elaborate after time, but in his early work, the bare-bones art is brilliant. Kind of like Doonesbury in that. Once Trudeau got someone else to handle the art, the strip art became more rivet-counting. Not bad, mind you, but not the same.
