Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's an actual Nancy strip? That's what Nancy looks like now?
Ernie Bushmiller must be rolling in his grave.

Im not sure I see a real difference between them?
Aunt Fritzi was better-drawn, the heads were at different angles, this just feels a lot lazier to me.
I would readily concede that the art is simpler now (and Fritzi isn't exactly the same "hot tomato" she once was depicted as), but I would also say the specific strip I posted isn't representative of the art in the modern strip. Usually characters are facing the viewer, and there's a bit more variety in panel construction. And I can't speak for Bushmiller, but from what I've heard about the fella he loved a good gag and ahem cashing checks -- so I'd like to think even if he didn't think its modern form was funny, he'd be pleased that Nancy was still a going concern. But that's just my two cents as a fan; I'm neither a historian or psychic.
Boy, you are a big ball of negativity today.

Dude, you're getting all pissed off about comics
I'm not sure why you think demonstrating what I was talking about is me being pissed off, but I guess if that's what you want to think, go for it.
