The new year brought with it a new byline for B.C.!

Mason has earned a bittersweet place of honor, the spot held by his grandfather for 50 years.
Here is the first Sunday featuring the new B.C. logo rock, hand drawn by Mason!



The evolution of the B.C. Sunday rocks.

The first rock was hand molded in clay by Johnny Hart in 1958.
He shaped it, carved the cracks and the letters, then photographed it for the newspapers.
It still exists today, in two pieces however. Broken at some point through the years.
I remember as a little girl, it always sat on my Dad's desk!



The interim rock was acheived by photoshoping the original!
One word describes this project... nightmare!



The new logo rock was hand drawn in pencil by Mason!
Scanned at a high resolution, it was then colored and digitized for the newspapers.
The kid's got talent! Literally, a chip off the old block! ;)
