    She reminds me of Wednesday Addams……was one modelled on the other by any chance?

    Is Nancy seeing Oona’s invisible friends or questioning Oona’s sanity in panel 2?

    Anybody else think Oona looks like a Dr. Seuss character? A Who maybe? Could be the pigtails.

    Oona looks more like the characters in the oldHarvey Comics comic book series. Nancy did had competition from many other little cartoon females:

    Little LuluLittle AudreyLittle Lotta (uh, she was anything but little)Wendy, The Good WitchLittle Dot

    My Grandmother always like to sit alone for meals. When asked she said, “That way I can chew with my mouth open if I want to.”Oh Mamaw……

    Oona should have her own spinoff comic strip. But thern back in the Bushmiller era Fritzi had her own strip.

    Why does she need five chairs for her five yo-yos? They can all fit in one chair, or even sit on her lap!

    I can see 1 chair for herself, but the 4 yo-yo’s don’t need chairs. They can sit on the edge of the table!

    Wrong way around. Fritzi had the strip first. Nancy, like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, like Swee’pea, like Skeezix, just turned up one day.

    Oona was created for the Dell “Nancy” comic book by the great John Stanley, who also created the comic-book version of “Little Lulu”. Stanley was probably aware of Charles Addams’ characters from “The New Yorker” (they didn’t yet have names of their own), but, on the other hand, both characters are your basic “little girl who lives in a haunted house” image, so it’s hard to say how much direct influence there was. In any case, the two characters and the humor drawn around them are quite different. Wednesday Addams is a weird little girl with strange and sometimes sinister tastes. Oona, on the other hand, is a perfectly normal, friendly little girl who just happens to live in a haunted house with her spooky relatives (and, in the original stories, a secret passage to the alternate dimension where the Yo-yos come from).
