The use of plewds in the first three panels to signify Nancy’s increasing optical frustration is interesting.
Panel Panel #1 – five plewds, Panel #2 – six plewds, Panel #3 – Nine Plewds!
And in Panel #3, Nancy faces left but continues to use her right eye to continue seeing the threading hole in the needle being held in her left hand, whereas in panel one and two she faces right.
I think the drawing work that links panel #2 and #3 to be fascinating. With cinema, I believe that is regarded as “shot – reverse shot” editing.
Nancy’s left hand in panel one has a pinky pointing out. I think it is rather telling.

I bought a “Needle Threader Witch” about 20 years ago. Five bucks well spent.

I wonder what Bushmiller did that was so offensive, GoComics wouldn’t run it. Probably something about the hippies.

Well, now I’ve seen Nancy’s “Ah” face.

My grandmother had me get a needle-threader over 60 years ago, still use it.
