Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for December 10, 2019

Why is she scowling at Fritzi? She didn’t name her.

Uh, oh. “gypped” is a Bozo no-no, Nancy.

Lolita is a diminutive form of Dolores so both her first name and her third name are technically the same.

Considering the names that some people give their kids (especially celebrities), you were fortunate that you were given the name “Nancy”!

Si señorita, you were gypped! LOL

What’s Nancy surname?

“You can call me Al.”

1-NANCY: HEY! Where’d you come from? DOLORES: I climbed over that wall…

2-…it was easy!

3-NANCY: Wait. Ain’t that Mexico behind that impenetrable wall?

DOLORES: Of course not silly. It’s me and my Aunt Jaunita’s house. I’m your new neighbor. Want to play?

4-NANCY: I THINK I’VE BEEN LIED TO!

for those keeping score this is a comic where the source of humor is both anti-latinx and anti-roma racism. bushmiller is a hack.

“You’ll only be in the strip once, and you’ll only get one line. On the plus side, you’ll have more words than Fritzi gets all month.”

“Well, MY name is Betty Jo Biolofski, but everyone knows me as…”

We don’t say gypped anymore…I wonder how Nancy would adjust to adulthood during this era?

Why does she look at Fritzi so accusingly? It’s as if… nah, she’s her AUNT.

Guess the Spanish do get carried away.

Sounds like her parents couldn’t decide.

Yeah, it might be better to look at this as reflecting middle class America OF 70 YEARS AGO and not judge it by current mores.
