Well, this shows family is not about who shares your last name, it’s who shares their love, and has your best interests at heart….

Were they all in the same army unit? Is that how Mor and Les know Sluggo’s family?

Guy,Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, I never read much “Nancy” because I found it fairly dated. (remember, Aunt Fritzi still had the 40’s hairstyle). I started reading it here on GoComics about a year ago, and your most recent strips delving into character development (or re-development, as the case may be) have caused me to add “Nancy” to my daily feed. Keep up the great work! You earned a new fan!

Yanno – I read this first thing this morning and couldn’t find the right words to post what I was feeling, so I figured I’d come back this afternoon to comment.
I’m still at a loss for words, beyond echoing the praise and appreciation of those above.

With all the bad news that has been happening in our country this week it is nice to read this feel good arc.
God bless you Guy and may God comfort all the victims of this weeks tragedy(s)

heartwarming — but they don’t mind that sluggo lived alone in hovel that was practically falling down until phil came along.
