I"m ready to be wrong about this but something that has bugged me about GG Nancy is that he only has swooning romantic moments between Phill Fumble and Juggzilla whereas if he wants to portray a more prickly relationship feature it's Nancy and Sluggo. They aren't a couple and they're way too young anyway.

So I looked into it, and the "new" writer (since December 2015) is named Mason Mastroianni, and he's the grandson of Wizard of Id's co-creator Johnny Hart. He's also been the artist on Wizard of Id since Hart's death in 2007. He and his brother Mick have another "Todayz Dawg"-type strip called Dogs of C-Kennel, which I will subject you to now and never again because it loving sucks:











Okay, that last one made me laugh, but still. It's pretty clear Mason is the funny one and Mick... well, we're not going to talk about Mick anymore.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like ever since Ces took over Judge Parker and made it not about one-percenters getting everything handed to them, it feels like a lot of other "dramatic strip" writers have realized that they can actually write characters with interesting flaws and conflicts and have them not win 100% of the time.

Look at you, asking characters to respond realistically and believably to comparatively mundane developments. It's like you don't even know how ~drama~ works or anything.

Mason has also been writing and drawing B.C. since Hart kicked off, and his output there has been rather uneven. Maybe he just finds it easier to create gags for Wizard of Id, I dunno.
