Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for December 01, 2022

Asked and you shall receive Sluggo. Sometimes.

Be careful what you wish for.

Now comes the fun part…digging your way out of there!

Somebody loan me a dime

I want to call my old time used to be

Somebody loan me a dime, I tell you

Mmm, I want to call my old time used to be

My woman been gone so long

And now begins to worrying me

(Boz Scaggs)

Sluggo you got your wish but you will be cold and wet

I like how Mr. Bushmiller changes the framing slightly to accommodate the speech balloons.

Dat Sluggo has da luck! ☺️

Wishes sometimes come true, but this was a bit harsh.

Sluggo is played by three photostats today, along with much (but not all) of the background. For the last panel, Ernie rolled his sleeves up and executed it all from scratch.
