the recent collection of john stanley's 'nancy' comics is well worth checking out. stanley essentially treats nancy and sluggo as if they were weirdly drawn versions of lulu and tubby, which makes for a mildly trippy read.

The WW2 setting of these strips means a lot of Nazi refs that feel startling & incongruous in the weird nowhere USA of Nancy

That's pretty great. I can't wait until I have money again so I can start splurging on this new wave of Fanta reprints (reeeeeeeeeeally want that Uncle Scrooge stuff).

Would you consider a strip featuring Fritzi only, and only her mouth visible? Difficult, but could work. Shall consider it more.

Well done regardless.

nancy weirded me out when i was a kid because everyone still looked like they were from the 40s but the strips were about modern things like using fax machines and microwaves.
