Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for November 11, 2019

ouch !

Is this Sluggo’s first encounter with a “floozie” (or is it ‘floozy’)?

If so, I can’t tell if it smartened him up, or left him as vulnerable as ever.

Panel four shows me a Sluggo in a rather astonished, startled, or perhaps even rattled posture, even though the young lady took only half of Sluggo’s offering of cash.

The 3 by 3 patterns are interesting throughout the strip in all four panels.

For example, three questions in the first three panels; three bushes, three exhaust plumes, three windows in the trailer, and a three-decker building in panel four, etc.

Ha-ha, Sluggo is poorer.

Bushmiller seems to draw most girls like that of Nancy’s two longtime BFFs: Janie and Irma. This girl’s a prettier version of them both. And like a very familiar celebrity.

that’s what happens a lot of times…you’re so smitten that you don’t bother to observe what is really going on!

Dat should be a lesson to you Sluggo!

Soda for a dime. Those were the days

She slugged him good.

Ah, 1950. When in Mexico City, a dime would buy you a kilo of uncut heroin.

Ice cold!

The day Sluggo decided to grow up, become president and build a border wall.

She has ‘man hands’.

Those were the days. You could stand in a moving trailer, and all the windows were glass-optional.

He should be glad that she only took his dime and didn’t stick around long enough for Nancy to hear what he said to her.

“Have you any…?” People don’t say that anymore.

nice

I have one word to Sluggo, SUCKER!

Sluggo ain’t too bright. And that would be a long trip.
