See, this kind of thing is why I prefer the new cartoonist, Jaímes, to Gilchrist. I don’t mind cutesy jokes—what I do mind is using cutesiness as a substitute for having some sort of joke. Take this dialogue from a few weeks back:“Can we stop bad things?”“Not always… But we can always try to make good things happen!”That’s not a joke, and it’s not clever, and there’s no reason to keep a cartoonist who thinks that it’s good enough for the readers.
I am not certain as it was awhile ago, but I do believe GoComics mentioned May 12 as Ms. J’s first Sunday strip. One more weekend with Guy’s artwork yet…
Today’s comic once again painfully confirms that reading Gilchrist’s version of Nancy is like being beaten to death with a Hallmark card from the Thomas Kinkade collection.
Wow. THIS is what the anti-Olivia crowd is hankering for? Hallmark sentiment badly rendered in comic strip form? I find it hilarious that they seem to believe that Gilchrist somehow carried on Bushmiller’s legacy better than Jaimes is doing. Here, let me summarize the pro-Gilchrist crowd’s message, if I may: Change Is Bad.Gilchrist whiners: Click “Unfollow” for One Weird Trick to Stop Reading Nancy
Alright, I’m done with GG. If I see another strip done by GG here at GC I will drop Nancy off of my picks, will close my GoComics account and will leave the country and move to Canada. You will never ever see me again. So, this better be the very last one Sunday strip full of toxic saccharine and no substance. I will take nothing less than OJ’s Nancy!!!

So sick of these technology jokes by some “protected” group. Things were better when Eisenhower was our guy. #saynotofaxes

Some might feel cheated that we got another Gilchrist re-run today, but I don’t care- this one’s really sweet!

This new version is terrible, poorly drawn and not funny. I would rather see reruns

If you don’t like these cartoons, don’t read them. Simple solution to YOUR problem!

Nice old sentiment. I think it’s dying out. Hope not.

Doctors say that had young Sluggo only hit his head on one rock, or two rocks, he’d be conscious now.

I’m glad there will be new artist strips next week from what I see. This comic becoming “so millennial” is the reason I signed up!!

That’s it! I’m dropping Nancy from my list of followed comics. The art is just horrible. I am pushing the unfollow button.

And so passes the time of Gilchrist, son of Gilchrist, Steward of Gondor. I mean Steward of Nancy.

This is a sweet comic, but the new ones this week have been funnier. (IMO, you don’t have to agree)

Ah. A comic with a little heart. That’s going to upset some people.

Nice to see a Nancy who looks like Nancy.

I mean, it is sweet and everything, but the art is disturbing and there is no joke. New Nancy all the way.

It was worth the effort, Slugg.

Nancy’s Sunday rerun is getting the same number of comments as the Dick Tracy crossover with the Green Hornet.

Maybe Gocomics will gives us a new strip call Nancy’s Classics with Guy. It’s just an idea. What do you think of it?
