She puzzled and puzzed till her puzzler was sore. Then the kid thought of something she hadn’t before. “Maybe I don’t,” she thought, “have to go through the door. Maybe just the report card – through the mail slot to the floor!” (With apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Hey, where are the Olivia Jaimes nitpickers to point out that the first panel is literally a copy of the second panel (except for the monologue, though even the balloon contours are the same), and how lazy, nice work if you can get it, blah blah blah?

It’s okay, Nanc. You’ve been in the same grade for over 80 years. : )

Another Take about 5 years ago
1-NANCY: Do I really enjoy living here…
2-…am I truly loved and cherished? Or would I be better off living at Suggo’s?
3-It’s seldom in life that one is able to coax out the unvarnished truth but I have it within my power today.
4-FRITZ: NANCY! YOU MORON!
NANCY: Alas, as it is so often said, “The Truth Hurts” HEY SLUGGO! WAIT UP!
