Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for June 14, 2023

At least the car isn’t an AMC Eagle. Come to think, it’s not an AMC anything.

Aunt Fritzi’s car is for the birds.

Hey—what about the fledglings left behind in the motor??

Aunt Fritzi is very well-dressed and owns a car. I wonder what her source of income is.

The rare, seven-cylinder motor.

Just looking at the date and soon “Nancy” and other cartoons would prove to be a way to get people’s minds off what would be happening in Korea…

At least it wasn’t a litter of kittens.

I’ve heard of “bats in the belfry,” but not “birds in the engine.”

Birds of a feather….

I once brought my car in for an oil change. When the man popped the hood a big grey squirrel jumped out.

Birds under the car

Like the nursery rhyme about blackbirds baked into a pie.

Fritzi Ritz was an actress, and flapper. She took Nancy in, when she was orphaned. Nancy was supposed to be a briefly appearing character, but she became insanely popular, very quickly, and soon after, became the title character.
