Some sad news today. B.C. artist Johnny Hart has died. Aside from being famous for his comic strip, Hart is known to so many at UC Irvine for having had one of his characters transformed into our mascot -- the Anteater.

UCI didn't have much when I was there to make it unique. To be honest, it still doesn't seem to have that much. But the anteater was always a source of pride. Keep your Bruins and your Bears, we had a flippin' Anteater. Of course, UC Santa Cruz went for the banana slug but still, the anteater was cool. Some history of how the anteater became UCI's mascot here and here from the university, not as much or as in-depth as it should be.
