Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for May 11, 2021

Burninate.

That’s called a red herring in the mystery writers business. In the comics world it is called filler because the artist can’t think of anything funny to draw. By the way, I get a sneaky suspicion that when this thing continues tomorrow those two girls aren’t going to be arriving at school at all!

Trogdor!

Hi…..Newman !!!

So like Star Vs. The Forces of Evil?

Lemme guess, Ms. Jaimes – you got caught up in Lost too, right?

Brilliant!

Maybe the real story was the friends we made along the- whatever.

1. I don’t get it. 2. Where’s the funny?

“…all the things that were introduced as important that they never came back to …”

What was she reading, a summary of the TV show LOST?

I may not have the intellect required to read “Nancy.”

Irony. Panel 1 predicts Panel 4? : )

Anges’ “cross-legged” sitting position looks damn uncomfortable!

I am not quite sure I am getting this today, but I think I may be:

It appears that OJ is suggesting that Agnes’ book, pillow, bed and lavender walls are the important things that OJ is not coming back to in this set of panels…. correct?

Hmm….. unless I am missing something…. that has to be it. But, to my manner of thinking, I believe OJ would have made this joke more actualized if she had put something really odd, unexpected, or out-of-character in the first two panels…. I don’t know… perhaps something like a snake slithering around, or a donkey sitting in a chair next to Agnes, or potato reading Shakespeare or something of that nature.

But, maybe I am just not getting it?

Love the SFX “shut.”

It seems Nancy is hitting her growth spurt.

TROGDOR!!!!!

Nice day isn’t it? Hope I dont get Detention after school today.
