Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for August 01, 2023

Way to go Sluggo. Cheer Nancy up.

The slant of the horizon line and the three rocks in the first and second panels have a change of ambience in the third panel with a horizontal horizon line showing Sluggo beckoning to Nancy while walking to the right.

Three rocks X 2 = three pumpkins in panel #4. Also in the fourth panel, Sluggo reveals his triple pumpkin sculpture, which delights Nancy.

I adore Bushmiller’s arithmetic!

Now Nancy will be looking forward to Halloween.

Just remember, Nancy; school is right around the corner. So better enjoy summer while you can!

The Great Pumpkin.

YOU’RE tired of summer? It’s been around 100 degrees here for weeks.

Nicely done, Sluggo!

Awww! Dat Sluggo knows how to bring a smile to Nancy’s face!

We once experienced an October snowfall in my area which is quite rare (only one I’ve experienced in my lifetime). To commemorate it, that Halloween I made a Jack O’ Lantern “snowman” much like Sluggo’s! I gave it sticks for arms, wrapped a scarf around its “neck”, and used a carrot for its nose.

Good idea sluggo a pumpkin man instead of a snowman

I wish it were over too. Heat and humidity kill.

The magical three rocks appear once again, this time as a sitting platform for Nancy. Bushmiller’s use of this geologic landform is both unsettling and comical!
