Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for February 20, 2025

Are you “stringing” us along, Nancy??

The idea of a string wholesaler just delivering a huge ball of string is strangely hilarious. I can only imagine him being chased by a giant cat.

Long before Elon Musk there was Nancy.

“Mars or Bust”. Nancy was planning on going to Mars before the first attempts to land on the moon.

Dream big

The Weird Al song (The biggest ball of twine in Minnesota)

Google Marion Holland, A Big Ball of String. One of the first great books I ever read!

Charlie Brown would be jealous. Watch out for kite-eating trees, Nancy!

“Mars or Bust”? I’m going with Bust and take Fritzi to Venus. I hear there’s a spectacular view of the Mounds of Venus, this time of year. The only place comparable on Earth are the Grand Tetons. They say the ride between the two destinations is enjoyable to the connoisseur of fine things.

I think once it left Earth’s atmosphere the kite and parts of the string would burn up.

Awwwww! Nancy always comes up with brilliant ideas!

Great gag!

Making the best out of a freak incident.

I’m so glad Nancy lives in a town where you can get string wholesale. I hate what I have to pay for string in my burg.
