So, if I were directing the live action version, Fritzi’s italicized words in the last panel, over the sudden close-up shot of the cookie jar, would be backed by an abrupt and dissonant organ chord.
The classic (or cliché, if you prefer) Scare Chord.
Perhaps the cookies in the cookie jar are decoy cookies. My father used to use this strategy. They are the ones you are supposed to find and eat thinking that you are eating dad’s stash of cookies. Meanwhile, the high-quality cookies are hidden elsewhere. Fritzi should check her premium stash. Nancy didn’t bite on the off-brand hydrox. That doesn’t mean that her belly isn’t full of premium sweets.

Poor Nancy is feeling down. Perhaps that is why we haven’t seen her for days.

Those are Poochie’s doggie biscuits inside that cookie jar.

Of course Fritzi checked, but I like to think she just knew the cookie jar was still full.
She knows.

In other Nancy news, Zippy has another in his irregular series of tributes to Nancy in today’s strip, if anyone else cares for that brand of humour.

It could be that Nancy is cleverly replacing the cookies she eats from the cookie jar so Fritzi won’t notice.

Nancy is too busy dealing with the cookies that pop up on the internet. She has no time to deal with baked cookies.

Must be so tiring to be Fritzi. Never a moment’s peace. No wonder she turns violent.

Are you sure these are the same cookies?If so, do NOT hesitate to call 911 and report a changeling.

Sluggo’s main takeaway from the conversation is that there are cookies in the cookie jar. Nancy will just have to wait.
