Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for January 08, 2020

The stillness, and silence, of a hatless Sluggo!

Sluggo is hat.

Nancy [In a Sweet Voice]: “Oh, Sluggo, you’re such a genius.” [Kisses Him]

How he got the hat off to show the plunger will be left as an exercise for the reader.

“Elementary, my dear Nancy!”

I truly hope Sluggo cleaned the plunger before attaching it to his head.

I was born in 1948. When I was 3 grandmother kept me days when my mother went to work. She loved the funnys and read them every day. It’s great seeing these and knowing she mght have read them.

Now DAT is funny!

The suction from that toilet plunger is going to leave a big red hickey. I stuck one on my back (I had hair on my head at the time so I couldn’t put it there) . After I took it off, I had a deep red circle on my back for days. Looked like a Japanese flag.

Please tell me that is a new plunger!

BRAND NEW, hopefully !!!! lol

Is that a “mummer’s helper?” (Apologies to Philadelphians…)

1-NANCY: What a dork! What’re you spozed to be?

2-SLUGGO: I’m a guard for His Majesty of The Grand Poobah’s Lodge.

3-NANCY: So you’re a dork. SLUGGO: You can’t insult a member of the Royal Guard…

4-…EN GARDE!

I’m shocked to learn that Sluggo was the inspiration for The Fat Fury.

Clever.

As long as it’s never been used or at least sterilized.

Just about the funniest strip today and it’s almost 70 years old.

Got the tip from the Beefeaters direct.

Sluggo has taken the plunge.

I hope Sluggo knows where that plunger’s been …
