Wow! Impressive!!! Nancy is now a daily MUST read for me! The new artist, Olivia, is doing work that makes me WANT to read and view the story EVERY day !!! I cannot wait to see what HER Sunday efforts will be like!
Ok, but I think I speak for all of us when I say: You can announce you’re never reading Nancy again and bid your goodbyes and then secretly keep reading it OR comment on it regularly… Not both! Some people are double dipping on dramatic exits, and the yo-yo farewells are never letting us get the closure we deserve! Are you staying? Are you leaving? Should we box up your records? Can we keep your sweater? It’s just,… it’s perfect for when we do our baking (warm but not too hot, sleeves perfect length to not catch fire, etc) This “will they or won’t they” is tearing us apart!
OK, Olivia. I have glanced at Nancy strips over the years, but never actually looked forward to them before. It’s a rather novel and pleasant feeling. Please, keep it coming. You’re doing great.
From Olivia’s very first day I gave her a chance. Sometimes it was even by the hour. No more. I am not going anywhere, I am here to stay. Keep up the great work

Wow, this has got to be a first. A comics artist attacking her own readers. What a complete lack of grace and humility.

Looks like they said too much. Are about to squeeze Nancy with an abudance of words.

Now ‘this’ is funny. Forget yesterday’s ‘Ironic detachments’. Give us more ’Ironic self-awareness.

Oh well, things will change again someday.

A nice reminder that while we dwell in the obscurity of comic sections, the cartoonist has a bullier pulpit. :)

If Olivia had truly written this prior to her debut, she’s even more genius than I thought.

I wrote yesterday about what I think Jaimes is up to. https://karnicky.blogspot.com/2018/04/this-week-in-nancy-be-earnest-dang-it.html

At least the skin coloring is getting more natural and not that sickly yellow.

I think Ms. Jaimes is having a larf at the expense of her critics.

Yep, I’m officially invested now. I love fourth wall humor.

Looking forward to closely reading these again straight through once they’re all collected in paperback.

First time i’ve seen a cartoonist acknowledge haters. This comic is genius
