Today’s Nancy Classic was last reprinted on 31 July 2020. I remember the date as my brother celebrates his birthday on that day. He shares his birthday with Harry Potter and Harry’s creator J. K. Rowling.
I made a long comment on 31 July 2020 about an “Oor Wullie” strip in the Scottish newspaper The Sunday Post which also had a boy flirting with a new blonde in town to the annoyance of his dark-haired girlfriend. In Wullie’s case, he also annoyed the blonde’s new boyfriend:-
Doris: I’ve heard all about you, Wullie. Fancy roller-skating with me?
Wullie: Try and stop me, Hen. I’m not bashful.
At the end of the strip, Wullie had a black eye, a lump on his head, a sticking plaster between the lump and the black eye, bruising on his face and a sleeve torn off his shirt with the arm that had been in the sleeve now bandaged:-
Wullie: Ach! I’ll never learn!
Primrose: Not bashful, eh? You look well-bashed to me! Ha! Ha!
I have learned since then that both Wullie and Nancy used to appear in a UK comic called The Topper. Nancy’s Sunday strips were still appearing in The Topper when I began reading it in 1973. Wullie had appeared on the logo of The Topper during the 1950s and ’60s as the front page was drawn by his original artist Dudley D. Watkins. The Topper was a UK comic from 1953 to 1991.
I suppose that Sluggo’s Hover Hat in Panel #4 will land someplace and become forever treasured, like the Comic Strip which he plays such a key role in, and it never ages.

Looks like both Nancy and Sluggo are jealous and insecure.

The strip just skipped from 1950 to 1955 with absolutely no discernible visual difference. What was in those missing years? I want to know!
