Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Wow, Iāve seen āfourth wallā stuff, but never direct communication between character and artist. Hope we can look forward to this in other ātoons, too.
Art critics are tough. The window licking commenters (with whom I self identify) on the GoComics boards are even tougher. Comics aināt easy. I think I read somewhere that Chris Ware didnāt have health insurance even after he did some New Yorker covers. I might have made that up, but Nancy should be appreciative. Drawing her may be a āgood gigā in the comic world, but itās not like being made a regional sales manager for a pharmaceutical company.
Interesting variant on the "artist wielding his/her tools to āeliminateā characters who are not behaving" story. Nancy is being an impetuous imp today, indirectly talking āsmackā about her creator. Olivia is ready and willing to take her to task by using her eraser.
So, does Nancy today represent the commenters who have been negative about Oliviaās artistry? If so, does Olivia have plans to āwipe them outā by disallowing comments (as is done in 9CWL?
If that is a thought that Olivia is contemplatingā¦. I hope she does not remove commenting. Over the course of New Nancy, while there have been a lot of folks who are criticalā¦. I believe there have been many more who have been positive in their comments. And, I for one (a positive supporter) also really enjoy reading the comments about the broader meanings that can be found in much of Oliviaās work here.

Seems like Olivia is notorious for a lot of āfourth wallā gags in this strip.

Nancy knows the real truth: that we are all living in a simulated realty.
