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.

Appears that Nancy is a bit jealous.

Since Fritzi is under wraps today, some of her fans might want to check out Miss Buxley in Beetle Bailey today!

Happy Birthday! Nancy first appeared 80 years ago today in the Fritzi Ritz comic strip. Click here and go to page 16 (according to the page counter; page 15 by the numbering on the newspaper pages themselves).

Nancy is an octogenarian? That would make Fritzi at least a centenarian, and she doesn’t look a day over 90!

Nancy should be thankful that there’s only a month left of this year’s football season.

Thank you for that look back into time! Both Fritzi and Nancy have changed much over time. Even so Nancy still sported that head of black frizzie hair as today. 80 years ago.

My mistake! I gave you the right link, but the wrong page. Nancy’s first appearance was on page 8, not page 16. Page 16 had the next day’s strip. Here’s the link again for your convenience.
