On Monday (8/24) my comment on that day’s Nancy was “This one feels like a 1950s Nancy.”
This one too. (Also has a ‘60s vibe, as on second thought, so did Monday’s.)
At least that’s how these feel to me. I use the word feel deliberately because I can’t quite articulate why I have that impression. Mysterious.
I liked the Monday offering a lot… but this one I love. Two jokes today, or perhaps two improvisations on a single theme.
Wonderful visuals in every panel. Could work even without the speech balloons. (As could the Monday strip.) The black-and-white rendering in the Spanish language Periquita is just as beautiful… and if you don’t read Spanish, you can get a sense of an un-captioned presentation.
Lean, spare, economical, and funny.
And a point about the guest appearance of the dreaded tech artifact. The joke couldn’t be nearly as effective if Agnes were holding up a drawing in panel 3. And a photo would make no sense… because why would there be a photograph handy?
I feel (that word again) like something new is happening in Olivia Jaimes’ approach. I can’t pinpoint what, but I like it.
