Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for October 02, 2019

Enjoy your black lung, kids!

How many people out there remember a coal yard, ice delivery, a junk dealer, etc.??

Tomorrow they’ll throw pieces of asbestos at each other.

Two Face’s daughter?

“It’s fun playing in the coal yard”.

I’m just glad she cleaned her hands before touching all of those white keys.

It’s fun playing with carcinogens! Ah, youth…

No half work, Nancy.

It takes more effort to do half the job than to just do the job!

Blackface! Is this comic going to be banned?

At first, I thought this strip was going in a much different direction…

nice

Yay! Black lung.

Once again, Ernie gives us a peep into the past, showing us tropes that are not only dead and gone; but are absolutely horrifying to the modern reader, who knows the hazards of what seemed to be innocent practices.

Wouldn’t they normally follow up this with chewing some tar?

Uh-oh, better hope no one took a picture. That black face photo will come back to haunt her later in life!

This is how Sluggo plays in the yard.

1- Now we can use all the rap lyrics we want without being accused of being another Vanilla Ice.

NANCY: Yay-yuh bouy! Ain’t nobody jump out on front street when we keeping it real.

2- FRITZ: DIDN’T I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN’T DO THAT ANYMORE!!! THAT IS RACIST!

3- NANCY: Oh, it’s ok Fritz – we’re done playing that. Now we’re playing bi-racial.

FRITZ: Ai yi yi…I MEAN DAG NABBIT! STOP APPROPRIATING, NANCY!

NANCY: I understand and I apologize if I’ve offended anyone.

The Jolson twins.
