Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for November 15, 2024

Remember fountain pens?

SIGH! Looks like another spanking coming for poor Nancy—even though the mishap wasn’t her fault.

I suppose Pocket Protectors weren’t around when this strip was drawn.

Love it when Nancy and her friends get together for a party. Back in the day, ball point pens were NOT allowed in school! When we learned to write with ink – we used the type of pen which required a bottle of ink, which fit in a little hole at the upper right corner of your school desk. The invention of the cartridge pen was celebrated by parents – who believed the cartridge made it less likely that they would need to figure out how to rescue school clothes which came home with ink stains. Teachers, however, were NOT enthusiastic about the cartridge pen. They were positive that the cartridge pen was a definite sign that the world was headed to a very hot place in a handbasket.

LOL. Bushmiller was knews how to makes a funny in just four panels. These days it be four weeks and you no find a funny in Nancy these days.

When in doubt…SHOUT it out! Oh, wait, they didn’t have it back then. Never mind. Prepare for your spanking, Nancy.

See you next week, Nancy.
