Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for February 10, 2019

Took me a minute… nicely done!!

I’m convinced that the only reason dark chocolates are a thing is so adults can have candy around the house that their kids won’t eat.

Apparently not even this bitterest of treats is safe from the clutches Nancy, however.

Nancy, an evil master!

The best hiding place is her stomach. Aunt Fritzi did check behind the pillow, didn’t she? And God knows what can be found in couches.

I guess the best place to hide is in plain sight.

Hiding in plain sight, eh? I like it.

So the pantaloon dots are edible? Clever Miss Nancy adapting her wardrobe for nefarious snacking.

that was good…need some smiles in strip though

Gotta say it took me a minute too, and this was pretty darn clever.

Not for a second does she believe Nancy, but she’s reveling in the chase: “The game is afoot, my dear Watson!"

I like dk choc. That’s a new Oreos flavor. :-)

I just hope that ain’t the Ex-Lax,

“Nancy, those pants need to go in the wash—they have dark spots all over… Oh, never mind, they’re gone now.”

Sluggo likes Chunky’s like his old friend Arnold Stang !! What a chuck of chocolate !!

Ernie is laughing.

“Dark chocolates” is a nice bit of specificity.

Comic oddity to report. My local paper somehow managed to run the French language version of Hagar The Horrible today. This happens online often enough but I’m still curious about how this could happen with the print version. I suppose that they download the strips from some source these days, but did no one even look at it first? I wonder now if Nancy runs in any other languages (didn’t OJ take a year of Spanish in High School?)

Clever.

Regular chocolate or dark chocolate does have some healthy things for you if you eat only a little. The milk destroys it.

It took me several viewings to realize that the dark chocolates are in plain slight on Nancy’s pants.

Where’s the recipe crank? I thought he’d have some space-wasting bit about how to make dark chocolate.

Very good. A visual gag worthy of Bushmiller!
