Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for April 25, 2017

Later: Couldn’t find an upload of the strip online, but it appears in the Fantagraphics Books collection “Nancy Loves Sluggo.” The offending panel is one depicting the “Wild Man of Borneo,” a cartoonishly exaggerated black “native” with a bone in his hair. The gag: In panel one, Nancy’s dog is leaping for a bone Nancy is holding. Nancy says, “No—you can’t have your bone right now—we’re going out.” Panel two, walking to the circus with her dog, Nancy says, “I’m going to take you to the circus.” Panel three shows the tattooed, spear-holding and (yes) offensively caricatured “native” seated beside a “Wild Man of Borneo” sign, and Nancy’s dog is leaping for the bone on the top of the man’s head. A different version of the gag panel (which adds Aunt Fritzi to the proceedings) appeared as the issue 44 cover of the comic book “Fritzi Ritz,” which you can find online here: http://timely-atlas-comics.blogspot.com/2012/01/
