Nancy was created by Ernie Bushmiller in the 1930s. Since 1995, the strip has been drawn and written in Bushmiller's classic style by Guy and Brad Gilchrist. Nancy is famed for its gentle humor and surrealistic sight gags. Nancy's childlike innocence never wavers. She remains a devoted friend to her pal Sluggo, and can be, depending on the situation, a conceited prima donna or a fun-loving, cute and cheeky little girl.

Another Bushmiller-esque funny…

If they rotated the umbrella so that the hole was behind htem, neither one of them would get wet.

That’s the idea. The Gilchrists have always gone for a retro look to Nancy in the tradition of Ernie Bushmiller. A previous attempt by Kirkman & Scott to give Nancy a new look was hated by fans of the Bushmiller era. (K&S now do Baby Blues.)

Logic does not apply to comic strips.

Jerry Scott did the art himself on his version before I took over. And , yes….I work out my material thinking in the traditional Ernie sense as well as I can.

Seems odd somehow… Gilchrist uses Aunt Frtizi to memorialize every dead rock star you can name and yet not a word on Veteran’s Day memorializing our service men and women. But then again, when I look at his photos (to the right), I see more of Woodstock than I do of Arlington National Cemetary.
Thank you, Veterans, for your service to our country.
