Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for August 15, 2024

Panel #6 seems to be a ”Prevent Tooth Decay” kind of message.

It may be protecting PeeWee from the raveges of tooth decay, which never looks good on a young child.

I think Ernie’s SPIKE character would look good with a mouth full of tooth decay, and Spike can probably buy and chew gum any time he wants to.

I wish gum was still a penny…..

I wish I had better health.

Maybe Nancy or Sluggo will give Pee Wee a penny for his thought.

I’m with Nancy and Sluggo – if you’re wishing you may as well go big, it costs the same.

i was unhappy because i had no shoes, until i met a man who had no feet

Finally someone with a rational request.

If you’re gonna wish, may as well wish big.

I wish pennies can still buy things

It’s all relative. Right, Pee-Wee?

Oh, to live in those times…

Peewee has the right idea
