Heh.

Okay, it’s official. Olivia is taking the piss. ;D

Wow, this has got to be a first. A comics artist attacking her own readers. What a complete lack of grace and humility.

Me like.

Bald? You mean that thing is a wig?!?

And today, NANCY went triple-meta.

She’s still Nancy!

What the WHAT??? This is horrid. ’Bye, Felicia!

Looks like they said too much. Are about to squeeze Nancy with an abudance of words.

One word: GENIUS.

hahaha-Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden take notice

…Po-mo as a mofoi!!!!!!!!!

Nancy is just about ready to break thjat forth wall and break sombody’s drawing pencil.

Now ‘this’ is funny. Forget yesterday’s ‘Ironic detachments’. Give us more ’Ironic self-awareness.

Oh well, things will change again someday.

A nice reminder that while we dwell in the obscurity of comic sections, the cartoonist has a bullier pulpit. :)

If Olivia had truly written this prior to her debut, she’s even more genius than I thought.

I wrote yesterday about what I think Jaimes is up to. https://karnicky.blogspot.com/2018/04/this-week-in-nancy-be-earnest-dang-it.html

Oooooh, someone’s been reading the comments and the emails – and she’s clapping back!

This is next level, I love it.

Wow! Impressive!!! Nancy is now a daily MUST read for me! The new artist, Olivia, is doing work that makes me WANT to read and view the story EVERY day !!! I cannot wait to see what HER Sunday efforts will be like!

Bravo!

At least the skin coloring is getting more natural and not that sickly yellow.

Olivia: Please remember this going forward and you’ll do all right!

Simple straight-forward gags? Not hardly.

Ok, but I think I speak for all of us when I say: You can announce you’re never reading Nancy again and bid your goodbyes and then secretly keep reading it OR comment on it regularly… Not both! Some people are double dipping on dramatic exits, and the yo-yo farewells are never letting us get the closure we deserve! Are you staying? Are you leaving? Should we box up your records? Can we keep your sweater? It’s just,… it’s perfect for when we do our baking (warm but not too hot, sleeves perfect length to not catch fire, etc) This “will they or won’t they” is tearing us apart!

I think Ms. Jaimes is having a larf at the expense of her critics.

Nancy: I didn’t know I had claustrophobia…

Ha ha. All those “scholars” breaking down Nancy. Blah blah blah ha ha.

I’m liking this….lucky weed is legal here in California!

OK, Olivia. I have glanced at Nancy strips over the years, but never actually looked forward to them before. It’s a rather novel and pleasant feeling. Please, keep it coming. You’re doing great.

It’s getting closer.

Olivia Jaimes is kicking it.. So funny and when will she be taking over the Sunday Strip??

From Olivia’s very first day I gave her a chance. Sometimes it was even by the hour. No more. I am not going anywhere, I am here to stay. Keep up the great work

Yep, I’m officially invested now. I love fourth wall humor.

Looking forward to closely reading these again straight through once they’re all collected in paperback.

These are so good! I love the new Nancy.

First time i’ve seen a cartoonist acknowledge haters. This comic is genius
