If you were alive in twentieth-century America, you knew Ernie Bushmiller\'s Nancy --and this new collection assembles some of the greatest strips featuring the much-loved cartoon icon and her pug-nosed companion, Sluggo.
As Nancy once said: Anything can happen in a comic strip!.
Together, this wide-ranging collection offers a chance for readers to experience the full range of Bushmiller\'s absurd humor and unexpected visual delights.
This collection of Bushmiller\'s Nancy brings together a selection from the beloved Kitchen Sink Press editions of Nancy strips, including How Sluggo Survives! and Nancy Eats Food , as well as a number of newly selected cartoons.
A masterpiece of humor and cartooning, Nancy earned both scorn and acclaim for decades, serving as a muse (and sometimes punching bag) for the likes of Andy Warhol, Joe Brainard, Gary Panter, Matt Groening, and more.
Nancy, along with on-and-off boyfriend Sluggo, delivered absurd laughs to readers for decades, all rendered in Bushmiller\'s distinctive line that cartoonist Denis Kitchen once called geometric perfection.
But Nancy could not be contained: Within a few years, Bushmiller\'s strip had been renamed for her, and she had begun her ascent into the pantheon of cartooning greats.
She was the niece of the star of his Other strip, Fritzi Ritzi , and meant to serve as a throwaway gag character.
Nancy was no exception.
The newspaper cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller once admitted that all my characters are conceived in desperation.
