But Gilchrist is apparently still doing Sundays? Because now I'm really curious to see what Jaimes does with Sunday space.

Sunday strips have a longer lead time, I assume there's a backlog still

Thread revive and no mention of Mark Newgarden's awesome "How to Read Nancy" from last year? Rectified.

the before is... well, yeah
Everyone is posting about the new Nancy writer. To help you make your own comparison, here is an entire Nancy strip from a few weeks ago by the old (and I do mean old) writer, followed by a strip from the new one. pic.twitter.com/efOeUJWm8t— Cybernetically Enhanced Abby Denton (@mizabitha) April 18, 2018

So it had basically turned into Pluggers?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 20 April 2018 02:23 (six years ago) link
I don’t think pluggers is that sentimental about thirty years ago. that’s some weird specific fixationdo you think a slightly-younger cartoonist would say “we had that 70s show and seinfeld” because... uh, damn

Would have much preferred Nancy going to see ELO.

Thankfully that comic seems to have been published long after his death
Supposedly from 1998? That has to be a miscitation, right? Or the Gilchrists were showing the world that rock acts could have orchestras when... god, I can’t unravel how dumb and backward this is

Holy crap, I didn't realize they started in 1995. I assumed that strip was from the 60s or 70s.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 20 April 2018 03:49 (six years ago) link
tbf pbs stations even now show stuff like a special evening with the moody blues
― mookieproof, Friday, 20 April 2018 03:53 (six years ago) link
That's because they buy programming from national PBS and stuff like Moody Blues concerts were paid for a long long time ago.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 April 2018 03:58 (six years ago) link
yeah but the rights to air them don't actually last that long
― you bet, nancy (map), Friday, 20 April 2018 04:02 (six years ago) link
iirc they mostly show the “live at red rocks” which was kind of donated as a fundraiser show in 1993 or something. It’s up there with the mannheim steamroller christmas music shows in the rotation.
― mh, Friday, 20 April 2018 04:05 (six years ago) link
I'd be willimg to believe the Moody Blues paid for a Nancy feature back in the 60s. It was a prestige move.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 20 April 2018 04:06 (six years ago) link
Moody Blues were on the Simpsons roughly the same time (The Homer & Flanders Go To Vegas ep).

Is Metanancy the Nancy we deserve?

metanancy, paradoxically, is the realest nancy

Well there's classic or "pure" Metanancy, Nancy that's about Nancy the comic, and then there's "post-Nancy" Metanancy that's Nancy about Nancy the cultural phenomenon

Presumably just wishful thinking, hence the song choice?? Who or what is the furthest-right silhouette, any idea?

that not Archie, it Fritzi Ritz's long term boyfriend (or husband now, I guess?) PHIL FUMBLE
