Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for April 23, 2019

I love the zoom-in on Nancy’s game face.

Gee, not even close.

Wow.

Yep. A close one.

This may take a while.

I think it important to blame the ref, regardless of score.

yeah, by the end the score will look the same as a game of friggin soccer!!

Also, I have much love for Nancy’s narrowed eyes in Panel Two. Eye of the tiger!

Maybe they should put this game off for a couple of years.

This is going to be exciting, folks. Both players are equally matched and neither of them is giving an inch.

So good! I burst out laughing at this one! I hope the game goes on for the rest of the week’s strips.

Sluggo has the easy job; the score of nothing to nothing will prevail.

All for naught.

Yes this was about my skill level at that age too. Also at my current age.

What is the score?

Perfect…

7

Instead of “Nothing but net.” series of shots, it looks like this will be a “Never to net.” match

I think “Magnetia” has proven to be a perfect foil for Nancy. Magnetia’s obnoxiousness is well suited to show us a lot about Nancy!

I wonder if Olivia will surprise us someday by mentioning Magnetia’s real name?

Nancy should win, but it isn’t a slam dunk.

They can disagree on who threw their ball higher.

She’s not wrong…
