Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for April 26, 2020

Didn’t see that one coming.

A subtle joke today is that one of the seminal papers on ego depletion theory was tested by … tempting people with newly backed choc chip cookies.

You can read it here if you have a mind:

It’s not as good as clearly over it Fritzi though.

From willpower to feeding frenzy in 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Panel 4 shows her in profile, and she seems to have a pointy nose!! Who knew??

haha, Fritz’s tired, exasperated face must have gone over really well last time, because here it is again- love the lines under her eyes, and her finger pushed against her face- she just can’t even with this right now.

That was not willpower. That was browbeating.

Actually, it was won’t power.

Did Aunt Fritzi make that cake?

Whose willpower is testinng here?

Nancy could’ve just walked away instead of wearing down her aunt.

“Nancy, how many licks does it take to get the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?”

One fine Nancy. Great presentation, great punch line.

My willpower is inexhaustible.

Once again, Nancy takes the cake.

My insane stubbornness is wrongly perceived as willpower.

Nancy is left-handed. I wonder if she has any other superpowers.

Clever. :)

I kind of love that fritzi seems to bake lots of different types of cakes. I enjoy seeing that variety in art in stuff like this.
