Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for September 12, 2022

An aging Sluggo will hate when Bow Wow Wow hits the scene.

What kind of musical instrument is a “sweet potato”??

“Ocarina” – do a google search to see exactly what it look like.

“Ocarina” – do a google search to see photo of one.

Today’s Nancy by Olivia Jaimes strip also features Nancy, Sluggo and food.

Shouldn’t have read this before breakfast, now I’m joining Sluggo in the hunger department…

Never heard of sweet potato instrument

Back when there was music class in elementary school we had Ocarinas made from plastic. The music teacher was itinerant and traveled about the district teaching, or attempting to teach us how to play the thing. Most of us could make sounds which vaguely resembled what the song was supposed to be, but we were never very good. I think she lasted 2 years. I remember her from 2nd and 3rd grade is all.

Grandpa McCoy used to play the sweet potato…

Took me a second to realize the sweet potatoes and records are $1.00, not $100.

A lot of Bushmiller’s humor is based on thinking outside the box.

That Licorice Stick is a bit of a stretch.

That’s what clarinets are called!

Don’t ever let Sluggo see the 8-to-the-Bar. He may end up in the drunk tank.
