Ok so it has been blindingly obvious this whole time that a man is writing this storyline but no, this is not endearing in any way and it is actively harmful to women's well-being to have a fictional character suggest this kind of behavior is cute or romantic.

Art Spiegelman famously said of Bushmiller: "the drawing of three rocks in a background scene was Ernie’s way of showing us there were some rocks in the background. It was always three. Why? Because two rocks wouldn’t be 'some rocks.' Two rocks would be a pair of rocks. And four rocks was unacceptable because four rocks would indicate 'some rocks' but it would be one rock more than was necessary to convey the idea of 'some rocks.'"

Because Gilchrist is simply someone who can draw rather than an artist, he read this and took away an understanding that Nancy was about putting three rocks in the background.



I always thought Gilchrist kept the Three Rocks thing because he thought it was a Holy Trinity thing.

Jam Esallen is so averse to figuring out how to draw the bent legs of a man sitting in a saddle at that angle he has Mark looking as if he's about to fall off the horse and Trick Rider Man looking like a stiff-legged Ken doll wedged on a horse toy it wasn't made for.

Baby Blues has always had disproportionately massive heads, it's stylistic.

Which is not to say Jerry Scott doesn't make terrible artistic decisions; back when he drew Nancy he gave everyone terrifyingly caved in skulls.

Not to let BSS leak into this thread much, but Marshal Law has a story arc involving Colma.. turns out he was born and raised there, and his dad was a mortuary.. part of the reason he doesn't seem to mind the carnage around him at times.

If there's an archive of Jerry Scott's Nancy somewhere, I'd love to see it posted. That's what I grew up with, though I read some classic Nancy in the local library too.
