Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for November 17, 2022

Let it go Sluggo. Nancy is close enough it might land on her.

Slowwwly, angle it (without spilling a drop) toward Nancy until it’s directly over her. That’ll serve her right!

Nancy is such a sweet, loving child.

Love the olden days – when Nancy and friends got together to celebrate holidays!

I find the strip a fine example of Bushmiller’s Mastery of strip-panel geometries.

This strip is a good mix of linguistic, linear, and sequential patterns. The interfacing of panels #3 and #4 is geometrically astonishing!

Should have left when you had the chance, Sluggo!

Sluggo, just let the glass drop, and go home.

Fritzi will blame Nancy and spank her.

Sometimes karma can be sweet!

We don’t know the terms of the game. Sluggo might get something he wants if he succeeds. Whatever the terms, Nancy manipulates Sluggo again.

A classic.

Aakkk!

Dat Sluggo fell for dat trick again! Bad Nancy!

Nancy the torturer…

A friend of mine pulled that on me once in his kitchen. Naturally the glass fell and broke.

“I like to have company” Nancy says, immersed in the newspaper while pretty blatantly ignoring Sluggo.

If I was sluggo I would drop the stick and hope the glass lands on Nancy I would love it closer to make sure it did

Keeping friends the hard way.
