Ernie Bushmiller's "Nancy": C/D?

The correspondence of Ernie Bushmiller and Samuel Beckett

d'oh sorry

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.

Then you realized they were just the concert coordinators for local rockabilly festivals and everything made sense.

haha nice.

Nancy weirded me out when I was a kid because it was drawn by a creepy Charlie Daniels fan

woah, hermenaut, AS Hamrah, that takes me back. used to love that shit!

Man, Nancy is so consistently bizarre and weird and funny; I am surprised how low-brow and stupid it was considered in its time!!

I got that first year Fanta reprint of the complete Nancy & there is defs some filler,
just doing it so many decades there are a lot of standout ones, too.
It does make me look at the comics page differently. Marmaduke is dumb as fuck for example but sometimes it will have composition, or a premise, that would seem avant garde out of context.

The pseudonymous new artist who started last week is pretty great already:

love the commenters saying "this isn't going to hold up over time!!"...fine, you can go read the other 70,000,000 Nancy strips then

A+++

some of these new strips are like, peak-Peanuts good

As someone who suffered through the Jerry Scott era (and never read any of the Gilchrist stuff), this is kind of amazing.

Even if I hadn't suffered through the Jerry Scott era, it'd still be amazing.

These new strips are pretty good! I like all the modern tech gags. They do a good job of keeping the Bushmiller sensibility and style, but also feel fresh. My only gripe is that some of the adults look off-brand.

speaking of, when did Heathcliff get so weird and postmodern?

I mentioned it on the other thread, but: Olivia Jaimes's new Nancy strips are great!

I'm dying at this one: http://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2018/04/12

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

Nancy otm, Sluggo needs to up his YouTube views.

xp

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

ugh jerry scott era nancy is one of the worst strips ever

this is so great

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

yay these are really funny

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

So it had basically turned into Pluggers?

I don’t think pluggers is that sentimental about thirty years ago. that’s some weird specific fixation

do you think a slightly-younger cartoonist would say “we had that 70s show and seinfeld” because... uh, damn
