She was the niece of the star of his other strip, \u003ci\u003eFritzi Ritzi\u003c\/i\u003e, and meant to serve as a throwaway gag character. But Nancy could not be contained: Within a few years, Bushmiller’s strip had been renamed for her, and she had begun her ascent into the pantheon of cartooning greats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNancy, along with on-and-off boyfriend Sluggo, delivered absurd laughs to readers for decades, all rendered in Bushmiller’s distinctive line that cartoonist Denis Kitchen once called “geometric perfection.” A masterpiece of humor and cartooning, \u003ci\u003eNancy\u003c\/i\u003e earned both scorn and acclaim for decades, serving as a muse (and sometimes punching bag) for the likes of Andy Warhol, Joe Brainard, Gary Panter, Matt Groening, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of Bushmiller’s \u003ci\u003eNancy\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a selection from the beloved Kitchen Sink Press editions of \u003ci\u003eNancy\u003c\/i\u003e strips, including \u003ci\u003eHow Sluggo Survives!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNancy Eats Food\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a number of newly selected cartoons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, this wide-ranging collection offers a chance for readers to experience the full range of Bushmiller’s absurd humor and unexpected visual delights. As Nancy once said: “Anything can happen in a comic strip!”","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57400925061502,"sku":"NW9781681378367","price":17.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781681378367.jpg?v=1778631697","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/nancy-sluggos-guide-to-life","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
