Nancy Dailies: 1946

Nancy originally started as a character in Ernie Bushmiller's Fritzi Ritz, but quickly came into her own strip after getting popular. Nancy joins her friend Sluggo, along with her aunt Fritzi, as well as other minor characters like Peewee or Mr. Sputter. The strip is generally one-off sight gags or wordplay, and often turns absurdist, or we see the result of Nancy taking her aunt's instructions extremely literally.

Bushmiller drew Nancy from 1938 to his death in 1982, and was then drawn by several artists in the meantime.

We don't talk about Gilchrist-era Nancy here.

Nancy has most recently been picked up by Olivia Jaimes and is also posted in this thread.

After a few months he stopped being a regular, and then kept fading out. Lyman's last normal appearance was April 24th, 1983. (He showed up in the title panel for the 10th anniversary strip, and as a picture on a newspaper Jon was reading after that.)

The internet seems convinced that Jon tortured Lyman in a basement dungeon and then murdered him.

That's what I'm going to believe

Amazing. Kinda reminds me of the "Nine Lives of Garfield" or whatever book I had as a kid. There was some weird poo poo in there.

E: This thing

I remember being in a doctor's office back in the 90's and they were playing the cartoon version of the Garfield Noir adaptation and I was very, very confused as to why there were no jokes or funny things on screen.

All I remember were a couple were really dark. It was either the middle one or the lower left one. I wish I still had my copy laying around.

And the one with the vikings was a bit salacious IIRC

I had grand plans to have the date on the strip sync up with the current calendar day, but there are no Sunday strips, so I could either skip those days to maintain the calendar date, or I'll :justpost:

"I'll be diabetic when I'm good and ready"

DO THE FINGER STICKS YOU WIMP

My wife was diagnosed just after her first birthday (it was the birthday cake that set her off). She got a helicopter ride, and her blood sugar was over 800.

She has extremely good control these days

I love Bushmiller's use of "etc, etc" in dialogue. He does this in another strip. It gets me every time for some reason

I don't know who this guy is but I love it when he's in Nancy.



His name is Mr. Sputter! He occasionally pops up from time to time in order for Nancy to annoy him.

You're in luck because Nancy annoys him for the next 11 strips.

Buck's gonna die.


Buck is gonna land in the hospital with an 800 blood glucose, survive, and at the end is gonna be like “Gee willikers, I guess I shoulda listened to ya, Doc” and he’ll be fine without any other consequences.

Or it’ll turn into the baby scene from Trainspotting.

Either way, :munch:

It looks like this is the end of Nancy dunking on Sputter until next February... I thought he came back more often than that, but I guess not!
