Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for January 28, 2019

Nancy is cruising for a bruising.

If the teacher rewards bad behavior, or simply pretends it didn’t happen, Nancy will try this sort of blackmail again. Why does this little parable seem so resonant this week?

Nancy used to be a good kid. I’m not liking this bratty version.

Wait a minute. I was under the impression Nancy didn’t want to be a part of this Robotics club anymore?

I remember reading a coaching manual published in the 1940s, which discussed the need to drop players for disciplinary reasons, and in particular the situation of needing to drop a star player.

In essence, the advice offered was “well, sucks to be you.”

Not a very good sport are you, Nancy?

Nancy, if you’re our best player, we should forfeit the game.

Arrogance, thy name is Nancy. :)

There’s a shrink she could see who’s six blocks away and only charges a nickel.

Nancy needs to do many hours of community service in a poor neighborhood. It might improve her attitude.

There is no “robot” in “team.”

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy. That is such a sad, self-serving attitude.

Now, I am hoping we get to see more greatness as usual from the teacher! She knows how to handle our ’lil Nancy. I almost wish Olivia would have added a fifth panel today…. one with the teacher showing the same sort of squited eye grumpy look like is so perfect on Aunt Fritzi when she is frustrated at Nancy. I guess I will just imagine it as occurring “off camera”.

That’s not how it works.

…Colin Kaperneck should hire Nancy as his age t!!
