Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for April 08, 2014

Caution: Signal ahead!…

I guess sometimes, it’s good to appreciate when someone can come in and be “just as good as a father” to someone, and when someone really wishes they could have their “original father” to be around….

I just started reading this strip a week or so ago, when they did all those comics crossovers. And now this. This is NOT the Nancy I used to read as a kid 60+ years ago!And that’s a good thing; the jokes were lame back then – even for a kid!

Poor Nancy- even her bow is limp! I guess we can forsee where this is going though, right?….and Jim Douglas, I wouldn’t say all of it is the same as 50 years ago………….

Sorry Jim, but you are wrong. The humor of the 1960s was very good for it’s time, but much of it would seem infantile today. The outlooks of people have changed a lot in the last 50 years. The Nancy of that time would have never have shown Fritzi so heartbroken when her musical idols died nor would they have dared show the stip of today. The would have received letters complaining that this wasn’t “sup-posed to be so serious. The is a fun comic! Don’t get so hung up on Nancy’s unseen father. Keep it light.” This would have been the attitude from the thirties to, at least the late 1960s. The Gilchrists have kept moving Nancy and crew along side the thru the present culture for several years.

Give the Gilchrists their due and enjoy the strip. Yes, the old strips were great for their times and do are todays. Thanks Guy for some wonderful work.

I can understand it.. Just like the father/daughter dances. our school district puts out automated phone calls to remind the parents… even households without any girls….. not only does it exclude mothers and sons……but girls who don’t have any father figures

I think someone will rescue Nancy of this situation.

Maybe Phil could take her?

now we know why

Mercy, that silhouette! Did someone tell Guy he hasn’t been meeting the Fritzi cheesecake quota for this month?

I’m guessing Phil will probably take her, but we’ll see.

I was thinking Phil. He is even kind of a father figure to Sluggo who isn’t even related to Fritzi.

A lot of the art work changed over the years such as her dressbut the comic story line have not great cartoon

Me sad :(

Warning, Fritzi Robinson. Warning, warning. Stepfather Phil on the horizon. Warning, warning.

I want to give Nancy a very big hug. See what happens when the parents run off? Fritzi has a nice guy in her life who can jump into the vacant spot, but Nancy will always feel abandoned by her biological father.

Guy: Isn’t it amazing how your readers think alike?

“Poor Nancy should confide in her mother on this”^She only has Aunt Fritzi left, right now… as far as fleshly kin is concerned….
