If you go back to the Ritzi Ritz comics from years ago, you would see that he is a old flame of hers. Except his hair is now more blonde than red now.

“Too many” = 48 years, according to Wikipedia. I don’t recall an actual story arc in “Nancy” before (as distinguished from a short run of thematically related strips).

I remember seeing him in the early 50’s.

I hope this is an interesting change of pace. Not to knock what has come before but I’m glad Guy & Brad are developing Fritzi by exploring her “background”.

Finally! A love interest for Fritzi – like she used to have in the ‘30s/’40s.

Making references that I am going to get. She is, er, well-preserved no matter what.

Thank you Gil for the story line I am looking foreward to seeing it unfold

He’s been in town since November 7 (the “man eating plants”). I say he’s not good enough for our Fritzi!!!

Kudos for the three rocks reference, a tip of the hat to Ernie “Three Rocks” Bushmiller!

I just glanced at today’s strip and without reading anything I remarked to myself “Looks like Guy resurrected Phil Fumble.” Gee, how long how he been out of the Nancy universe? The 1960’s? Is a “Fritzi Ritz” Sunday comic next on the horizon?

He looks about Nancy’s age.

Are we sure that’s not Veronica Lodge?

Phil, you’re in town & you CALL her on the phone? You’re an idiot. With a hot babe like her in my past, I would’ve made a beeline to her house the moment I hit the city limits.

I remember Phil back in the 1950s. I’m a Nancy fan from waaay back.
TheFrankster about 12 years ago
Well I always wanted to see Guy’s take on the original Fritizi Ritz strip but I guess this’ll be the closest thing to it. I’m lovin git!

Glad you’re enjoying this………..I am, too.
