Apologies for the double. Usually I'm not a huge fan of the meta comics but this is fantastic.
I mean, people pegged me as being a high schooler well into my 30s, so I don't put a lot of stock in guessing people's age by appearance.Hard for me to believe, but someone who has sorta seen Olivia Jaimes in person thinks she's under 25 years old:https://rockojerome.com/2018/10/01/i-have-seen-olivia-jaimes-the-cartoonist-behind-the-new-nancy/
Nice. I got the black one. You know, because I'm a cool kid.
Why did you decide to lead off your run on the comic with the strip about Nancy eating corn bread?
I went back and I looked at the end of [previous "Nancy" cartoonist] Guy Gilchrist's run. Nancy as a character had drifted from where I envision her, in that the Nancy I know and love is a total jerk and also gluttonous and also has big feelings and voraciously consumes her world. And I was like, I need to do a character-reset week. Just kinda being like, Here's who Nancy's gonna be right now. And also, I love corn bread. So, that's it. That's the reason. I wanted to reset expectations and pay homage to my favorite food.
And then I was like, Actually, what are the panels that would most upset the person who likes me the least? The most upsetting panel to somebody who's like, "Nancy sucks now"? I actually went to Shena because I don't read the comments. Shena was like, "Oh, definitely have a panel that's all phones." And then I'd been joking with her at the very beginning about how I was going to make Fritzi [who wore very formfitting outfits in the Gilchrist era] wear a parka, and she was like, "People would hate that." But then I was like, the incarnation of what I imagine my greatest hater would despise most is Nancy interacting with every piece of technology using words you don't understand. So, yeah, that's where that one came from.
Because Sluggo is lit.
There's an extensive Vulture interview with Olivia Jaimes that came out today
