Classic Nancy 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. I have three Nancy books: Nancy is Happy which covers 1943-1945, Nancy Likes Christmas which covers 1946-1948, and Nancy Loves Sluggo which covers 1949-1951. I believe all three are out of print, but if you are a fan of the strip and have an opportunity to purchase one or more, I highly recommend it, since the production on the books is top-notch.  We are in the middle of Nancy Likes Christmas. I give you... Nancy 1947

Nancy 1947 I think this is probably one of the strips that got me instantly hooked on the old strips. Simple and effective.

As unrealistic as Wilbur surviving is, I think it will happen, because it's Mary Worth. Then Estelle will "realize" how much he means to her when she thought he was really gone, and it will all be terrible.

Nancy 1947 I had to look this one up. Portal-to-portal refers to the entire time a worker spends from the entrance of an employer's property, to the actual work site. (e.g. a mine) There was also the Portal-to-Portal act of 1947 which clarified how workers should or should not be compensated for work-related activities. manero fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Jan 27, 2022 |
