This seems like an odd place to pick this up. Guy ran this arc a few weeks ago when he ran some history of the character. Since Andrews NcMeel Syndication distributes ‘Nancy’ and either owns or has a financial interest in GoComics, this may just be what they are doing for a re-boot. The party is essentially over. Everything’s been explained; the loose ends neatly tied; F&P are married, and as they said in the last panel yesterday, ‘everybody lived happily ever after’. They should have just ended it there. This isn’t like going back and re-reading a good book. My favorite list just got reduced by 1. Enjoy, everybody.
I’m not sure I like the fact that the story changed from a single bully in ’38 to a gang in ’13 and repeated in ’18. Perhaps if reruns are in order, the originals should be those rather than the 2013 remakes.
It was called many things, but Mixed Martial Arts or MMA was a term not used for mixed fighting styles until many years latter, if we are returning to yester-years, then should we not return with purity, and not convenient modern changes in dialog.

Looks like instead of ending the strip, they are going back to early years. I’m happy about this! Thanks!

Not sure…..but is that Sluggo in the very back coming up behind the bully?

As I predicted, reruns. :)

It would have been better if they had restarted from the beginning with the black and white strips.

Nicely done. We asked to start at the beginning and here it is. I think the color is nice and will spike an interest in younger readers.

Hey. They got the ’Gower’s Diner’ sign right this time… Well, unless F&P are standing outside the diner…

Cool! There are so many strips that I have missed, I hope to really reacquaint myself with this great, conservative, beautifully drawn strip!
