Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for August 16, 2024

Ah, the days when so much could be purchased with one thin dime! An ice cream cone, a comic book… . When I was a girl, a penny was considered valuable! Now, I see them littering the streets!

When I was little my elderly neighbor would give me a nickel to get him pipe tobacco.

Sluggo’s learning what it’ll be like working for the Man.

In tomorrow’s strip, he encounters a former millionaire.

Once I built a railroad

I made it run

Made it race against time

Once I built a railroad, now it’s done

Sluggo, can you spare a dime?

You could get a coffee for a dime, with refills. Then Starbucks decided they had an idea.

I would guess Ernie spent 90% of his time drawing that strip on Bow Tie Guy’s hairdo.

They left out the caption of Sluggo singing Old Man River.

Good heavens! That’s worth more than a dime!
