“You’ve just met Nancy and Oona – two young girls who just recently became acquainted. Now, they have fallen through a mysterious doorway in Oona’s house. What lies ahead is a mystery, for now. Because what these new friends don’t yet realize is that this passage will take them within walking distance…of the Twilight Zone.”
I wonder if this blast back to the past will result (for a short time) in Guy drawing Fritzi as she looked about 40 years ago, seeing Fritzi’s parents (Nancy’s grandparents), and Nancy as a baby, and what happened to her parents?
“Nancy”, like most strips apart from “Gasoline Alley”, takes place in the Sliding Now. That means that Nancy cannot remember the original Mickey Mouse Club or cathedral radios (another Philco product). (Heck, neither can Fritzi, if it were to come to that. I exclude Oona because, for all I know, she may be older than Ambassador Kosh.) So just what is going on here? Is the strip making a hazardous expedition into real time?
I thank you all for the kind words! I am a huge Twilight Zone fan, so being told I can even come close to emulating Serling’s writing style is, for me, a high compliment!

I’m thinking more along the lines of the forgotten Irwin Allen series The Time Tunnel.

A Philco TV? Tip Top Comics? Man! That was a while back!

It appears Nancy and Oona have gne 1 step beyond the outer limits of the twilight zone. ☺

I bet Luna Lovegood has something like this in her house.

I still think this is Fritzi’s nightmare.

You’re right. As long as there’s reruns, it’ll never be forgotten.

As all good children know, Ambassador Kosh has always been here.
