Guy & Brad,I have been a fan of Nancy since the late ‘40s. Thank you for keeping Ernie Bushmiller’s delightful strip alive and full of spirit. You have done a wondrful job of keeping Nancy up to date and introducing your personal touches without messing with tradition and upsetting us old geezers. Thank you!
By the way, someone grumbled (undoubtedly in a lighthearted way) that Nancy, Sluggo, and Fritzi still watched TV on a CRT set. Well, my wife and I still watch a CRT TV. Eventually we will replace it with a modern flat screen set, but until then…. (We also still have a working BLACK & WHITE set, but it’s in storage)
Our cake delivery business wasn’t doing very well—We sent the Devil’s Food to Heaven, and the Angel Food to Hell.The Angels started pigging out as far as I could tell—But the Devils got converted and were sorry that they fell.They marched up the Road of Good Intentions with a Rebel Yell.The Angels saw that those intentions rang as clearly as a bell,And frankly they were worried; they were way too fat to quellA sizable uprisin’ [like the First One—parallel!]But they charged out from those Gates of Pearl, to the strains of William Tell.And they just might have won the battle, if not for Captain Gabriel,Who was scarfin’ and a’barfin’ Confectione D’Caramel;And he just could not be bothered lobbing Fragmentation Shell.So the Devils have their Angel Food Cake—eat their Devil’s Food, as well;And the Angels are all camping, “Way Down South,” and raising hell.Like fat film stars a’sunning, on the Riviera’s swell;They drink Tabasco Satan’s Chili—‘cause they really like the smell![Copyright Haakon Ragnskjold—so keep yer mitts off!]

I wish Nancy was telling this to Aunt Fritzi in the middle of the night. (With the good Aunt wearing a slinky negligee.)

I guess you should be more careful what you ask for; you just might get it.

I’d like to see Aunt Fritzi’s version of this dream.

Well, Susan, you asked for it!
And I hope you sure are laughing as hard as the other commentors and I are.
