Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for April 11, 2020

You should have thought of that before you left home.

I’m delighted to be able to observe how some plewds migrated to some paint? … oil? … tar? … grease? … cartoon strip goop? … in panel 2?

Given the length of the apparent footprint-pattern trailing-off into the distance, as Sluggo, about the size of his right hand in panel one, reaches the horizon in panel three, I’d say “paint,” for two-hundred, Alex.

Another footprint mystery near the end of a two-panel running saga, from a master of meaningless mysteries, Ernie Bushmiller.

That was some fancy footwork on the sign…

In which Sluggo invents parkour.

Poor guy never stood a chance against Hurricane Sluggo!

Dats crazy!

Rod Serling’s voice: Ironically, Sluggo is running for… a sandwich. In the Twilight Zone.

Also, he was a Martian.

Sandwich boards have, over 70 years, evolved into spinning boards and elaborate costumes. Ain’t technology wonderful?!?

“Gangway”— now there’s a word I’ve neither heard nor uttered in a long while. Jumpin’ Jehosaphat!

nice

Funny, Billy and Jeffy don’t wear slouch caps! No wonder the guy looks confused!

Rather athletic.

Wow! Haven’t heard GANGWAY since I left the Marines.

nature calls!

Nowadays the signs would say GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!
