B.C. Grog Collector Glass is the perfect #cupofmood, the kind of cup that brings classic comic-strip humor and early fast-food nostalgia back before the first sip even happens. Because of its clever illustration, it turns a simple look into a smile-filled memory.

🥛 Why This Glass Feels Right
This B.C. Grog collector glass feels right because it connects to a time when humor was simple and visual. The B.C. comic strip was part of daily life for many readers, and as a result, this glass feels playful and timeless.
It feels humorous.
It feels nostalgic.
And finally, it feels like something meant to be enjoyed and remembered.
In addition, promotional glasses like this were often used every day, which helped turn comic characters into part of everyday routines.
🍯 Design & Details
I included this piece because it represents a unique crossover between comics and restaurant collectibles. Arby’s released this glass in 1981 as part of its B.C. Ice Age Collector Series, inspired by Johnny Hart’s popular comic strip.
This particular design features Grog holding a shell up to his ear, playfully using it as a “shell phone.” Because of that, the artwork feels clever and true to the comic’s dry humor.
The full series included several characters, such as Thor, Wiley, and the Anteater, which adds extra appeal for collectors who enjoy completing themed sets.
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift Idea
B.C. Grog Collector Glass makes a thoughtful gift for comic strip fans, vintage fast-food collectors, or anyone who enjoys retro humor. It works especially well as a display piece, desk accent, or part of a nostalgic kitchen collection.
