I’ve missed all the Nancy’s comic strips after I out-grew reading comics since 1970. Now I’m glad we have my fav comic characters on-line and I don’t have to miss a day becoz I could always back-date the strips. Back then you only have them on newpapers. Cheers to Nancy!!! And to you too, Guy!

And thank you for your work on this strip. You (& Brad) are the reason I started re-reading Nancy after a more than 30 year hiatus. Here’s to another 17 years of great work…

That’s really neat. I know that after Jerry Scott stopped doing the strip, people have been concerned that the strip returning to the Bushmiller style wouldn’t be too popular with fans. I guess Guy proved them wrong.

I grew up with Nancy, and have always loved her. Sounds like a Happy Birthday is in store. Thanks for all the years of joy you have brought into my home.

Happy 17th, Mr. Gilchrist! Thanks for keeping Nancy, Aunt Fritzi, Sluggo and all the others alive and well for us. My favorite funny ones are when Nancy tries new hairdos! :D

Thanks for all the great memories, and those yet to come.
Matthew Kreps Premium Member over 12 years ago
I enjoy the gentle humor of this strip — AND Guy’s obvious adoration of the beauteous Aunt Fritzi.
Richard Amidei over 12 years ago

Guy’s hat explains to me all the music references I’ve ever seen on Aunt Fritzi’s wardrobe.
Thomas Scott Roberts creator over 12 years ago
I had posted a sketch of Guy a week or so ago on his Facebook, without knowing he had done this strip. (Then he showed me!)

Happy anniversary, and thinks for bringing Nancy (somewhat) to the present decade(s). I hope you are still working on eit in 17 years and I hope I am still around to read them. Also nice tribute to Ernie Bushmiller.

Too bad a talent like this couldn’t have continued L’il Abner.

I remember reading Nancy when I was a little girl. I’m glad the strip didn’t stop after Mr.Bushmiller died. That’s what happened with the strip Dondi. Nancy rocks and lives on!
Beetle Premium Member over 12 years ago
I have been reading Nancy for several years and still enjoy it. Thanks
Spade Jr. over 12 years ago
Congrats to you, Guy, and all the others who have kept Nancy & company going. The humor and the characters have maintained well over the years, and the fact that you have managed to avoid any type of political taint is outstanding as too many comic strip creators cave in to a phony need to go outside that magical world in which strips and stories lines simply don’t need political garbage to entertain (and sometimes make great points about life in the real world. Ernie would be pleased!
