Jesus christ. Gilchrist is horrendous
I for one, can't stand the need to bold everything for emphasis.

Alright, I legit lol'd at that last one. Her face, hahaha
Gilchrist almost kept my generation from discovering this masterpiece. Another crime in itself.
Someone make a loss edit
I think they're both the evil twin.
Lol at the age of the comic being a factor. How old is Superman? People are super calm about changes in his books right?
Everyone else is not drawn in the same artstyle as Fritzi. It would be funny instead of creepy if there weren't those accusations of rape.Phil is just straight up not drawn in the same artstyle as Fritzi. This bias is so blatant, lol.
Oh God. Oh God.At least he was decent as the serial killer from "Too Many Cooks"
Yeah, reading up this thread this is how I'm feeling.Me 3 days ago: what the fuck is a Nancy?
Me today: Olivia Jaimes perfectly transfers and modernizes the qualities that made the Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy a classic, qualities that were lost ever since Guy Gilchrist took over. Olivia Jaimes is not changing Nancy but rather bringing it back to what it once was.
Gilchrist is what happens when you have to write one joke a day, everyday, for 22 years. At some point you run out of material. It's exacerbated worse in his case by the lack of talent.
Sending to a myriad of teacher friends right now....so good
As a teacher who just got back from a spring break of slacking off, watching anime, and playing video games, this comic spoke to me on a spiritual level.
We're only a bit over a week into this new author/reboot, and it's insane how much better it is.
I mean have you ever read a man of steel thread on here thoLol at the age of the comic being a factor. How old is Superman? People are super calm about changes in his books right?
I feel like I'm missing the joke here. What exactly is supposed to be good about these comics? These are horrible.
I didn't expect that last panel. I laughed.
I've seen a number of young animators and comic artists over the years that were hip to classic Nancy and cited it as an inspiration, but otherwise yeah the Gilchrist era made everyone entirely disinterested in Nancy, if not outright hate it.But anyway, now I became a fan of the original and new Nancy, why people don't talk that much of her like Calvin & Hobbes? did Gilhrist really sent the series to oblivion?
This is where I'm at. The Ernie Bushmiller stuff is fantastic in that it--what I've seen, anyway--hasn't lost any humor with age. Not sure how long Snapchat filters are going to be in the modern lexicon. But at least it's not the jokeless desert that the Gilchrist stuff is.
Its funny how the pervert boomer artist went to such lenghts to draw as well as he could aunt fritzi on every panel, while every time he draws nancy or sluggo the art is pretty bland. And im not referring at the artstyles just that you can see he doesnt give a crap on the penceling inking and colour if he is not drawing his beloved waifu.
In fact i prefer the original old Bushmiller art (and that still had the good looking aunt fritzi just in a 1920's style that worked much better with nancy and sluggo instead of archie) to the pervert artists art and also Olivia's art.
The joke and panel structure of Olivia's is pretty good and faithful to the original, but the art is mediocre as hell sadly, in fact i think the coloring isnt doing it any favours and it would work better in black and white. The Bushmiller backgrounds are simple yet really nicely drawn, and the character poses are used really well for tell the jokes, something I fill is really missing in olivia's art.
Well the thing is some old newspaper stripcomics like nancy used a similar 3-4 panels jokes and punchline as japanese 4komas. As Pop Team Epic is a 4koma not only on its pages but also the animators decoded to translate that similar 4koma ke style to the screen they could seem pretty similar to todays readers. The difference is that while original nancy used sometimes surreal humour and 4th wall meta (those artists is lazy strips and characters talk about it could perfectly be a pop team epic joke), the majority of it were direct good simple punchline jokes, while pop team epic has some of those, but the majority of the time tries to go incredibly meta trolling its audience with post surrealist humour.
