In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new Nancy in town. You remember Nancy, don’t you? Of course you do. It’s being drawn by a young talent named Olivia Jaimes. She is attempting to take Ernie Bushmiller’s iconic creation back to its roots, and I think she’s doing it. Her style is quite different from the previous artists on Nancy, and, the Internet being the Internet, she’s gotten kicked around by a lot of commenters in her first few days. I think she has weathered that storm and is going to do well. Give Nancy a look, and while you’re at it you might research Ernie Bushmiller and the origins of the venerable feature. There’s probably a lot more to it than you’d come to believe.
