Description

Guy Gilchrist Nancy Daily Comic Strip Original Art Group of 7 Double-Strip Sheets (Universal, 2015-2017). Important note: These seven sheets contain two episodes apiece, for a total of 14 comic-strip installments. Granted that Nancy and originator Ernie Bushmiller (1905-1982) are inseparable, even so -- Gilchrist has done more than any other long-term successor to restore Nancy to its Bushmiller-style roots. The present selections emphasize the smart-aleck nature of kid character Nancy Ritz; the impatience of Aunt Fritzi Ritz; and the lazy contentment of Nancy's pal, Sluggo Smith. Guy Gilchrist and his brother, Brad, had landed the assignment in 1995, recapturing a near-Bushmiller vibe in the process. One episode contains subliminal Muppets-like faces -- a reminder of the Gilchrists' former assignment. Dates included are 9-12 and 9-22 (2015); 2-22, 2-23, 3-31, 4-2, 4-11, 4-12, 5-9, 5-10, 6-29, and 6-30 (2016); and 5-15 and 5-23 (2017). Ink over graphite on Bristol board, with dimensions of approximately 13" x 4". Uniformly Excellent condition.


More Information: More about That: In a new biographical study, cartoonist Bill Griffith (of Zippy the Pinhead) examines the career of Nancy's creator: The book is called Three Rocks: The Story of Ernie Bushmiller.
