Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for November 17, 2019

No Sunday headstone panel?

Nancy is nit.

And as the holidays draws near, again no improvement to Miss Ritz.

I love Fritzi’s look of exhaustion even more than supine Sluggo. You can tell she hasn’t just sat through this presentation, but many, many training sessions.

Nancy’s power of persuasion even got to Aunt Fritzi !!

Nancy’s persuasion has gong to the dogs.

Unfortunately, the missing head panel was left ON in Peraquita…. and the first two panels were obliterated.

I can just hear Poochie laughing at Nancy.

Nancy, the people whisperer.

Actual original format for today (no headstone panel per Olivia’s intention, like the 01/20/2019 strip — the only two times she’s done this for Sundays so far).

GC dropped panel #3 here this time (“Lie down,” with Poochie’s head up) to achieve the 8-panel vs. original 9-panel format (they usually drop panel #2 on Sundays, when there’s a headstone).

I really hate that they do this. My attempts at communication with upper management to have it fixed were met with a lot of useless hot air, though. You can see the original format with a subscription to the e-edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is all I’ve discovered for that so far. I’m on a 99 cents trial for a month with AJC again (give them a fake phone number if you decide to subscribe just for the trial; otherwise, they’ll hound you when you cancel it). Past editions back to February 2017 are available.

I only read about ten comics, but I notice Jaimes and Brian Crane put four fingers and a thumb on their characters, unlike most comic artists.

Nancy has them trained well.

The only thing that could have made it better would have been if doggy took up the position and starting licking himself which Nancy was demonstrating her incredible powers.

On the bright side, they won’t get up with fleas.

Clever. :)
