Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for August 13, 2013

What a way to be….“awakened”…..

Put them back!

Dinner!!

I thought collecting frogs was a boy thing, but then again, my sister caught one as a kid.

Well what did you expect Nancy to do with them, hang them up? Lucy & Shellby are a nice surprise, eh Fritzi?

@Ashburn stadiumThe comics are light hearted fun to read ,better than reading about all the violence that goes on around the world. if you don,t like them why do you read them.

I love the up-swirl of Fritzi’s curl in the last panel

My local paper dropped many of the older strips long ago, but I’m glad I found them online because I like the ongoing story lines. I DO wish they’d move a little faster. Showing my age, they bring back memories of childhood. It’s harder to relate to some of the newer strips. To each their own.

I have some of the same thoughts as ashburn but agree just not read them. I choose my comics here do not take a news paper and I do choose to have Peanuts on my daily list.

One more thing Ashburn if you do still buy a paper have you not noticed that there in not much left to Clog up as you say LOL been about 5 years that I quit the paper. When they got late getting it here and shrunk the size and raised the price it was gone LOL

Froggie went a courtin—lol—

Oh to be a frog in Nancy’s room.

Lucky Nancy doesn’t like snakes.

Most people alive today do not remember the 70s ^Now that’s a generalized statement, if ever there were one…..=There may be more “new” things prevalent on the “pop radar”, but check out all of the “reboots” of older things ( including ) the 70s things…=Not to mention the generalization of who the majority alive are today… =And you have to know where you came from, to know where you are going… try travelling to a new location, or reading a map or walking down a new hallway, without such valuable information….

I think that Shellby is a turtle.

Maybe Lucy is the turtle.

I also love the older strips. The classics like Dick Tracy and others because those actually take some real artistic talent to draw. Today’s look like they were drawn on cocktail napkins. No talent! The only classic I can say that about is Gil Thorp which is awful artistically. Go back into their archives and see the enormous difference. Sharp crisp detail. This looks like the pre strip planning sketches or something. Nancy is another that’s well drawn and with the classics, you can tell that some real thought goes into each day’s strip. Joe Staton has saved Dick Tracy. Period! A comic book artist is exactly what was needed. Bravo!

It’s also irrelevant. I wasn’t alive in the thirties and forties, but I think the comic strip from those decades are the best there ever were. Fortunately, a lot of them are being reprinted these days by younger folk who appreciate them. Check out some Terry and the Pirates if you want to see how great a comic strip can be.

Based on US Census data,^Having worked in the Census Bureau, I know that data is broken down in many ways… you didn’t give a specific data table, nor any links…. just saying that the Census Data says things is not undeniable evidence… the actual numbers of people per population would be helpful here, the correlation of what percentage of the U.S. population is this way… and then, there are the other places that this site reaches, Canada for one…

Not to mention that there are places (Websites, museums, etc) that carefully document these things… I encounter this reaction on YouTube, when it comes to music posted there, as well as older shows and commercials… the sentiment they post is usually how they “wished that they had been born in that era”… that statement sounds funny, but the point is that they have the sentiment that many do appreciate the times before them, even if they had no personal recollection of them…=I am a child of the 70s, myself, and was brought up on the culture of the 50s and 60s… may I ask (for discussion purposes) what your age/generation was?….

No, the point from the discussion was what are the stats that bear out how much of a country’s population would be old enough to have remembered the 70s…. but Cartoonacy’s point seemed to effectively end that aspect of the discussion….

And I brought up Canada to show that one cannot just count the U.S. in this discussion of who would remember/appreciate a comic, as you yourself can attest to, as you are a Canadian citizen….

It all started with a comment about a comic… read from the top on down to see…and also look at Cartoonacy’s post to see….
