This fits with the fan theory that BC is set in a post apocalyptic future.

It was more than a theory in the last Hart years; it was explicitly
acknowledged, though it hasn't been since as far as I know.

So what does BC stand for then ? It is certainly not "because" or "be
careful" or "basket case" or "be cool".

That was one of the jokes in the arc I mentioned. Hart introduced a
new Italian character Anno Dommina and had, um, Peter introduce the two:

BC: Hello, Anno
Anno: Goodbye, BC.

It would be interesting to read that again, but it wasn't very good
unfortunately as I think Hart had had a stroke by then. Kind of like
reading late Laumer: Some interesting ideas, but badly executed, or
almost completely unexecuted.

What does it stand for on a coin dated "44 BC" ?

According to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.C._%28comic_strip%29>
and <https://johnhartstudios.com/meet-the-artists/remembering-johnny/>
most characters are named for and possibly based on
Johnny Hart's friends, but the strip grew out of Hart's
catalogue of unsold ideas for prehistoric cave man
cartoons, the character of B.C. is Hart himself, and
the title is attributed to Hart's wife "Bobby" and seems
to come first and as a reference to the calendar because
it doesn't apparently refer to anything else.
<https://johnhartstudios.com/meet-the-actors/b-c/>
does not give a reason in-universe for the character's
name. Implicitly, in universe, the strip is named
after him.

In early strips, they believe they're primordial,
and the only sophisticated culture is the ants
operating as middle class suburban Americans.
Except they don't have cars, I think.

Hey, we just need to change theology a little.

When this post-apocalyptic world recovers from being in a caveman-like
situation to the technical level experienced around the time of Christ, the
world could witness the Second Coming of Christ.

But only His *Third* Coming would be the end of the world.

So the events taking place are in years long B.C. on the post-apocalyptic
calendar, before Christ of the *second* Coming.
