Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for April 29, 2020

What an ingrate!!

Be on the watch out for Aunt Fritzi. If she catches you she just might put your butt thru the ringer.

That’s what she said!

Big and soap flavored, now.

Eggcorn.

Tortillas…?

Nothing like soapy pancakes, better than Suretan.

Nancy sure is going to town on those pancakes.

Dats ridiculous!

That second panel is ripe for meme abuse.

Growing up the shore house had a washing machine just like that; 8 girl cousins, tween to late teen, and me, with a live in grandmother and rotating parents [5 sets of aunts & uncles + my parents] produces a great deal of towel and linen wash. The girls took turns running the machine, I from the age of 6 got to work the manual wringer. No beach time until the wash was done and hung in the morning. Little did I know at the time that the same muscles worked pushing wash through the wringer would stand me in god condition to row the 9 foot skiff I received as a 12 birthday gift.

Remember when “got yer t*ts caught in a ringer” was something people said? Sadly, there’s not even a modern equivalent. Just like “sh** fire and save the matches” has been lost to history. SAVE OUR HERITAGE! Say those things to your kids every chance you get!

I try to make them thin by adding more water to mixture. Don’t like them thick, too filling.

How picky and pompous can one get?

Modern kid: “I don’t get it, what is that thing?”

Love it – from back in the days when everyone had to take their clothes out of the washing machine and hand-crank them through the wringer to wring out all of the water – before you took them outside and pinned them up to the clothes line!

Nancy mangles the point.

Psychology.
