Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for February 02, 2013

I thought Fritzi needed to find true love. She had been living like a nun.

May we get this strip in animated form? Please, please, please???

A thousand thanks, Guy. And I second gimmickgenius’ motion.

To quote the Lil Abner strip…“HOD-DAWK!!!!!!!!”

I was eleven when that song came out. Only it was the shortversion.

Sometime today, I shall have to play “American Pie” a few hundred times, too.

A real Fritzi would have to wear a pacemaker warning.

Rave On!

I wanted to double check before posting, but I do see a little reference to Batman in panel 2. Fritzi’s doing the Batusi. An awesome strip today.

I remember my dad managed a small town swimming pool in Indiana in the summer of 1972. I would sit with the high school girls who would look after me (I was age five). I remember that song playing on the radio. The song brings back that summer every time to me.

“American Pie”, that is – regarding above.

SO TRUE

AS the Fonz once said, I wish it could be 1959 FOREVER!!!!!

Great songs and singers, though my favorite of the period was Homer & Jethro. (You name ‘em, we maim em’)They were a benchmark of the era. Where number of sales are used as a benchmark today to denote success, in that time period a song was considered a success if Homer and Jethro came out with a ripoff:How much is that doggie in the window – How much is that hound dog in the winder (the one with the long mangey tail)The yellow Rose of Texas – The yaller rose of Texas. (Her right eye looks at Dallas, her left at Ft. Worth)El Paso – El Paso #2 (Velveetas Cafe, instead of Roses Cantena)Battle of New Orleans – Battle of Camp Kukomonga (The #1 comedy song of 1959)

In a video, I think Fritzi would make Jessica Rabbit look like a frump.

I was in 8th grade when American Pie came out. It was one of the best 45 records I ever bought-at the Five and Ten store in town. That’s what I like!

C’mon Fritzi, SHAKE THAT THANG!

“Archie’s TV Funnies”, ca 1970, had very short Nancy and Sluggo cartoons. In the one I remember, Sluggo got a job with a greengrocer and thought he was ging to get a bg salary. Instead he got a big celery.

Guy,I’ve been a fan of Nancy since the late ‘40s (I see I’m not the only 70+ reader and poster), and I love today’s Nancy and gang. Thank you, Guy, for keeping Ernie’s vision and keeping it current. I appreciate the subtle changes you have made (for the “purists” out there, Ernie Bushmiller made changes over the years, too). I heartily endorse Phil’s new look and Fritzi (wow).As with the other readers, I’m eager to see the story of Nancy meeting Sluggo, but I also enjy these little interludes, also.

(Dang fumble-finger typing: “enjy” is supposed to be “enjoy”)

I told ya this was coming. I love it.

Is Fritzi wearing glasses in the third panel?

Yeah, Buddy Holly glasses.

We saw the story of how Nancy and Sluggo met with the flash backs for the 75th anniversary in 2008.

I hereby award Guy the “Best Legs Drawn by a Human Being or Any Other Mammal” award.
