I’m not really a big fan of Nancy and Sluggo — although I read the strip every day in “The Topeka Capital” while growing up, and probably even bought a few comic books. I thought the art was of the Rubber Stamp School.
Later, I found out this was a spin off of a 1920’s strip staring Fritzi Ritz — later known as Nancy’s “Aunt Fritzi” who was a HOT flapper! I mean, she was more HBO than NBC, if you know what I mean.
I found these scans at Joyville and thought I’d share … the comments below are from the host web-site.

I realized not long ago that, surprisingly, I’ve just devoted one post to master Ernie Bushmiller ever since I started Joyville. And being a cartoonist highly appreciated to me, it came to my mind that I could amend this misdemeanor before year ends. So I’ve scanned a bunch of NANCY strips to my this last 2010 post which prove that Bushmiller always was right: three rocks are better than four, better than two.
And since Holidays are just around the corner, I thought convenient add some Bushmiller’s custom-designed Christmas cards, and thus turn this post into a Christmas one. So, Happy Holidays blah blah blah to you all! (said it in a Lionel Barrymore’s voice)
