    Wow, Iā€™ve seen ā€˜fourth wallā€™ stuff, but never direct communication between character and artist. Hope we can look forward to this in other ā€™toons, too.

    You know, Iā€™ve just had a flash of insight. Nancy and Fritziā€™s address is 8 Chickweed Lane! Right across the street! ;-)

    Seems like Olivia is notorious for a lot of ā€˜fourth wallā€™ gags in this strip.

    Art critics are tough. The window licking commenters (with whom I self identify) on the GoComics boards are even tougher. Comics ainā€™t easy. I think I read somewhere that Chris Ware didnā€™t 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 ā€œgood gigā€ in the comic world, but itā€™s not like being made a regional sales manager for a pharmaceutical company.

    Interesting variant on the "artist wielding his/her tools to ā€œeliminateā€ characters who are not behaving" story. Nancy is being an impetuous imp today, indirectly talking ā€œsmackā€ 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 Oliviaā€™s artistry? If so, does Olivia have plans to ā€œwipe 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 Oliviaā€™s work here.

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