In other Nancy news, congratulations to OJ for picking up both Best Original Volume and Best Cartoonist at the 2019 Golden Issue awards:
“Ernie Bushmiller’s original Nancy strips are renowned for their craftsmanship, marking Bushmiller as a master of the comics medium and generating an array of critical media assessing his mastery. Olivia Jaimes has taken that same strip and brought a similar level of skill to the minimal format of a weekly comic strip, while updating its approach and gags for a new century. Each daily installment delivers its joke(s) with precision and comments on the absurdities of social media and the stress of generational gaps. Her cartoons can be read purely for pleasure or studied for their precision and amusing insights. Jaimes has shown herself to be a tremendous talent, stepping out of Bushmiller’s shadow prepared to cast a long shadow of her own.”
(which makes me think that blurb was written for a slightly different strip, but I digress).
