Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for April 20, 2018

No rocks, and in particular not three of them!

Made me actually laugh. Great work, loving this new comicmaker!! You go , girl!!! :D

Love it!

good one!

Love this!

Cute.

Well, I guess that report card could “accidentally” fall in the dumpster.

delightful!

This is the most refreshing change I’ve seen in a long time.

Bushmiller humor!

Replace “grades” with “next week’s strips” and you’re spot on. ;D

I love Nancy’s updated ’tude!

That’s some association psychology right there

Why is their skin color so yellow? Other than that the new art works well.

Still trying to like this one… :(

OJ’s strips are great—the humor is on target and relevant. Finally, I don’t feel like I am being beaten with a Hallmark Card.

So bewildering that Nancy is now my favorite comic but I’m just gonna roll with it.

I actually laughed at the strip today…Note to Me. Jaimes once one of my schoolteachers once said to me when I got an ‘A..’.Now that I know you’re capable…I expect more from you young man!

I came to check out this strip because I keep seeing it in the daily highlights, and I was surprised to see that it was actually witty and entertaining. Having dismissed this comic long ago as being just another saccharine, unfunny, nostalgia-fest that should have died in past decades, I was curious to see what changed. Unbeknownst to me, apparently there has been quite the controversy raging over this new artist.

Well, I’m just here to say that this new artist seems vastly superior by my millennial sensibilities. I never would have thought that Nancy, of all comics, would be a comic that I would start following, but the world can be unpredictable sometimes. Keep up the good work, Olivia Jaimes.

This comic strip is so good now.

Compare today’s strip with Bushmiller’s from Nancy Classics. In Bushmiller’s, the gag is centered on a situation which could not/should not happen today (i.e. something which might have been “relevant” when the comic was printed but wouldn’t be now). Pointing this out since a lot of people have been saying his strips are “timeless”. I barely see any difference in the way Nancy is drawn, except now we have color. And the sight gag is just as apt. I’d really love for the haters to come up with some reasons why this comic is so horrid while that comic is superior. Can’t wait to see the answers.

Nancy isn’t one for good grades. I can understand her blue funk.

I haven’t cared about current Nancy comics (many original run ones are surprisingly relateable or soft-hearted) for the 3 decades I’ve been alive, but I’ve been really into OJ’s current crop. Keep up your great work, Jaimes! Love to see your influence from current comic styles and not has-been newspaper embarrassments.

Decent job, with a more classical type of gag.

I laughed! More than I have at any Guy strip which involved Nancy & Sluggo liking Roy Rogers, like any kid below the age of 75 does.

Comic: funny. Art: still looks like skin disease.

Made an account just so I could follow the new Nancy! I loved reading newspaper strips as a kid (I’m 26) and as I got older, moved into webcomics. Looking back into the archives and the classics, I must have been reading the Buschmiller strips back in the day because had I been reading the ones right before these Jaimes’s strips, I never would have remembered them. Everyone looks like cabbage patch Archie and the dozen strips that I read felt very Family Circus. Glad to see someone with the sharp wit I remember at the helm, even if some of the older fans are perplexed by videogames and smartphones. I do wish the skin was a little less yellow/green toned, but I’ll it take over the creepy baby doll quality that came before it. Keep up the good work and the critics will even out.

And that’s another thing Aunt Fritzi is not going to love. You’ll be staring at a green wall soon, Nancy.

Maybe a decade ago, this might have been the “modern” equivalent – I wonder what people will think of this particular artifact of 2018 in ten years?

This is a big mood

wow! a gag that has nothing to do with technology!

Well, if you’re going to be down in the dumps anyways.
