[Top left is an AI morph of my impenetrable Covid protection from January 2021. 2nd down on left was culled from the lower right corner of my June 2020 WebEx meeting notes. Old man at upper right was created from the pair of stereoscope photos previously posted. Sluggo ghosts were lifted from this Nancy strip.]
Top left was in response to this open request. Nancy & Fritzi Ritz panel was lifted from this strip. Messed around with Tim Conway Jr.’s portrait found here. Lower right are my moss balls in fresh water.
[Modified just a slurp, original strip found here. More Nancy related items in the archive.]
Miscellaneous strays from my desktop, most previously posted elsewhere.
Ernie Bushmiller‘s ubiquitous comic strip has intrigued me since I was a kid. It was rarely funny, sometimes creepy, and the drawing style was unique and constrained. Bushmiller was more of a draftsman than a comic strip artist, and it’s obvious that he used tracing templates, photography, and in his later years, photocopiers.
One day in the early 1980s, this panel showed up in the Sunday funnies. I was hooked, and I began paying closer attention to the Zen of Nancy.
The .gifs above have been posted here previously, and scraping them into a pile seemed like the proper thing to do. The one in color was an early experiment with Jasc Animation Shop v.3.11, a program I acquired in 2012 (thanks, Possum). Most of the panels were lifted from Nancy strips posted on X/Twitter by @JohnnyCallicutt and re-used with minimal editing.
