Oona: LOOK! In the fire-place! I've never seen it before! Maybe THEY did it!
Nancy: A DOOR! It just...appeared!
Oona: YO-YOS!
Nancy: :WHO?
Door reads: MEMORY CLOSET
Nancy: Let's see what's in---
Oona: HUH?
I used to read “Nancy” as a kid. I had never thought of it in the realm of surrealism back then. Either it has matured or I have. Maybe both. Maybe neither.
I don’t care for this Oona Goosepimple storyline. It was OK for Halloween, but I was hoping it would turn out to be a dream and Oona would not be a regular character.
Oona, the Yo-yos, and the Door Behind the Fireplace go back to “Nancy” comics from Dell (not Harvey) in 1959. “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, ha! They’re even older than the real “Star Trek”!
It is not possible to please every one of my readers with everything I do….therefore I do not try. I can only promise to do my very best work, and produce the best product I am capable of offering. That has been my pledge on Nancy for over 18 years now. And….as I go into my 43rd year as a professional writer and artist….has been my pledge from the start.

I miss Harvey comic books. This strip makes me think of them.

All of a sudden this strip is going down hill fast.

Alleyoops, I agree. If the door wasn’t yellow, we could wonder what’s behind the “Green Door”….

Do the yo-yos look like andirons to anyone else?

Or maybe Nancy is going to turn into Anne Mitchell in Ninie Hannon’s book ‘The Memory Closet’. I hope not, because I’m not a fan of horror stories…

I enjoy these side trips into new territory!

Why do I get the feeling that we are about to see Fritzi as a child? And possibly Sluggo’s parents.

Nancy just forgot to be careful…
