For you younins out there, there was once a time, where every household got something called a "newspaper", and the kids would tear apart the newspaper to find the comic section.
And from you old geezers out there, I know Aunt Fritzi was hot.
Jaimes is not good and is not a return to Bushmiller style.
It’s horrible.
They’re all bad after Bushmiller.
Ernie is great.
” I know Aunt Fritzi was hot.”
Hot? I wanted to grow up and be like the Dragon Lady from Terry and the Pirates.
I once came to know a guy who did a daily cartoon and was also a Christian missionary. His strip was called Downstown and was one of my favorites. He quit the strip before I met him. I asked why and he told me that he found that having to be sarcastic for the strip was making its way into every aspect of his life.
I remember when our local paper (Tulsa World) carried both the NANCY and FRITZI RITZ cartoons in the 1960s.
I haven’t looked at newspaper cartoons since Calvin and Hobbes ceased being published.
Little Lulu was better.
I never cared for Nancy. Never got the point of the comic.
My grandmother, however, LOVED it. She would crack up over some of what I considered some of the most inane strips.
I would try to read it trying to figure out what she saw in it. I never did get it.
Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite.
I used to pray for Brenda Starr and Mark Trail to die in a firefly plane crash.
I was able to get a Gilchrist, hand drawn Fritzi. While not my most valuable possession, it’s one of my favorites.
Yeah, but she was no Betty Boop...
Of course, there was always Daisy Mae...
Then there was Blondie. Sigh...
Since comic book movies are a thing now isn't it time Nancy and Sluggo got one?
