Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for December 26, 2019

Boy that is a really unusual speech/thought balloon right there. It’s fluffy like a thought bubble, but it’s obviously representing real sound, with added emphasis on loudness by the extra radiating lines in the tail. And it has an image of the snorer. I’ve seen thought bubbles with images representing the reaction of the thinker, but I can’t recall a speech balloon with an image of the originating speaker (or snorer). The panel needs to convery the source of the snoring, and that it’s bothering Nancy, but trying to depict two bedrooms in two houses with sound originating in one room but audible in the other, with one image, was probably impossible, hence the elaborate baloon workaround.

I’d also like to comment that I don’t think Nancy would have much success writing on a glass flashlight lens with a nib ink pen.

I’ve probably read “How to Read Nancy” a few too many times.
