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.

As a long time follower of Nancy, I don’t like the new style, and have stopped following the comic.
I may revisit at a later date, when I have forgotten how it previously looked though, and can then concentrate on the humour.
I do think Charles Schulz had the right idea about not wanting anybody else to do Peanuts, and I am enjoying the reruns.
I’m glad that cartoons continue to survive on GoComics.com, and will continue to support that site as long as they support my favourite cartoonists.
Happy Birthday, Trucker Ron! You are still just a kid…
