From an interview this week with Brian Walker:
GB: As a creator yourself, it must be interesting to track, if you even can, how your scholarship affected your own strips through the years. Is there a thought you have on that subtle dance?BW: In the late 1980s, I wrote a book about Ernie Bushmiller’s “Nancy.” I had always looked down on this strip, convinced that its appeal was limited to children and senior citizens. But after researching Bushmiller’s career I developed an appreciation for the deceptively simple and occasional surreal qualities of his work. Ernie’s advice to other cartoonists was, “Dumb it down.”

I have a Nancy book now, by the way. I got it off ebay. Has anyone bought the Fantagraphics books?

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.

First collection of daily strips from Fantagraphics is finally out!

Nancy's still got shades of that Fritzi Ritz look in it

Also I can't believe I knocked Bringing Up Father on this thread. WTF, me.

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).

Visually confusing mixture of a sharp-hooked speech bubble and a scallop-edged thought bubble there.

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

I nabbed it from Tom Hart on twitter and didn't even look for attributions.
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.
