Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for May 03, 2019

These have got to be the lowest, slowest, and quietest planes I have ever seen.

I used to go to tech school on the approach to LAX. It got so I could tell individual aircraft types by the sound of their engines…

Major Matt Mason, I live just outside a Joint Base…I can tell by the sounds of the rotors what helos are flying over the house and whether it is a KC-135 or a C-17 by the engine sound and the vibration of the house.

Since it’s a two-tone strip, Tommy doesn’t look any paler than Nancy, Sluggo or any of the other regular characters.

Years later, Tommy would become an M.D. and discover the benefits of staying clear of UV radiation…

Did Tommy think to MOVE OUT OF THE BOX?

“Another one? Sheesh! I don’t know why they always have to plummet directly on our yard.”

That would be a really busy airport to block out the sun more often than not!

Alt Script: 1-NANCY: How come you’re always coughing and wheezing? 2-NANCY: And your posture is terrible. TOMMY: Come with me and I’ll show you. 3-TOMMY: My Dad makes me work in this coal strip mine he put in our backyard. All that shoveling is a little rough on my back not to mention the dust I breathe. NANCY: Too bad for you he didn’t find a vein of that clean coal I always hear about. TOMMY: What can I do? I owe my soul to the company store. NANCY: Try upping your output to 16 tons. TOMMY: Do me a favor and call me “Big Bad John”. NANCY: How do you feel about Coal Miner’s Daughter? TOMMY: Stop with the coal mine songs already! NANCY: Fine. Looks like Mr Peabody’s coal train done hauled it away anyhow. TOMMY: ARRGGHHHH!

Maybe it’s anemia?

Its practically hovering! Pale is good.

And planes that fly low.

How can she tell? Everybody is white.
