Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for February 09, 2019

“Curiously refreshing.” Now all you need is the gin and tonic.

If only… as I look out at the deep snow and know it’s BELOW zero for the next couple of days.. ;-)

nice

If the company’s product was crushed ice, why was it coming down a conveyor belt into a garbage can? Rejects?

Simple humor – no hating – a different time…

I’m sure throwing ice at a person is a felony in some country.

Crushed Ice Companies !Three Rocks had 5 or so in the 50’s ! Until labor unions did them in !!!

My favorite “Eek & Meek” strip by Howie Schneider, back when the characters were all still mice, has Eek (or perhaps it was Meek) hit from behind by a snowball, clearly thrown by Monique. “Are you crazy‽” he says. “Where do you get a snowball in the middle of July?”

“Oh, you know,” says Monique. “A flake here, a flake there…”

That’s a lot worse than a snowball.

Nancy is hit!

I see that this strip is dated May 5. That was a far more appropriate date for the line “just two months ago it was snowing.”

This reminds me of a Bushmiller Sunday strip from the 1970s where Nancy dreamed that Sluggo had thrown a snowball at her. She got out of bed and went out into the snow. The last panel showed Sluggo in his bed and being woken up by a snowball thrown through the open window.
