I'm posting Nancy in one of its several forms. The past two threads, I've posted Nancy dailies from 1946 and 1947. For the new thread, I will be switching over to Nancy 1943

It might not come through in the scans, but the art in Nancy 1943 is a little bit more detailed with seemingly thinner lines as well, compared to Bushmiller's later work. In addition, WW2 was in full swing, so we will see some interesting cultural stuff and some stuff I'll probably need to occasionally spoiler due to widespread sentiment during the war.

Since we're in the middle of a "plot" in Nancy 19471948, I am going to post it alongside Nancy 1943, until it resolves, and then I'll continue with 1943.

Nancy 19471948

E: Oh yeah, it's a new year

This is the end of the concertina "storyline" for 1948. No 1943 today since Jan 3rd, 1943 was a Sunday. Tomorrow we return to your regularly scheduled Nancy 1943.

We return to 1943 with Nancy getting ready to dunk on good old Mr Sputter for a while...

I'm kinda digging the art in Archie, I was never into it, so it's fun to read it now.

Jughead always looks stoned or something. And so I also had to figure out what was up with his crown/hat thing

Edit: Look at all this detail! The pattern on Mr. Sputter's tie, the folds in Mrs. Sputter's apron, even the food on the table and the candles.

Nancy and Sluggo just off-screen, encouraging Captain America to punch Hitler even harder!

There are some strips later that go hard against Japan

So they just had drifter monkeys back in the 40s?

I screwed up the order (sometimes the book puts days out of order when they do a full-page)

Here's the strip from the day before:

And today's Nancy 1943

Yikes on that racist trope though. I honestly don't know whether I should spoiler stuff like this.

(e: deleted because it was way meaner than I meant it to be, but I think it's pointless to have a historical document where in-text jokes at the expense of the characters are treated with the same blurry hand as hard racial slurs and hideously ugly stereotypes. I would like to think that we're all mature enough to be able to celebrate the past with all its warts without having to place a dumb side comment behind the same curtain as actual hate speech.)

Thanks for the input. This, and the other response I received were helpful! There are a couple later strips that are quite egregious, so this helped me calibrate a bit on it.
