Nancy, one of the best-loved characters in comic strip history, was created by Ernie Bushmiller in the 1930s. Since 1995, the strip has been drawn and written in Bushmiller's classic style by Guy and Brad Gilchrist, the award-winning cartooning team behind "The Muppets Comic Strip."
Nancy is famed for its gentle humor and surrealistic sight gags. Nancy's childlike innocence never wavers, no matter what is happening in the world around her. She remains a devoted friend to her pal Sluggo, and can be, depending on the situation, a conceited prima donna or a fun-loving, cute and cheeky little girl.
Nancy first made her appearance in the comics in the early 1930s, as a character in "Fritzi Ritz." The little girl with the big red bow became so popular that in 1938, the strip was renamed "Nancy". Nancy has entertained hundreds of millions of comics fans worldwide for decades. Nancy and Sluggo even appeared on a U.S. postage stamp in 1995. Legendary Nancy creator Ernest Paul Bushmiller took over "Fritzi Ritz" in 1925. In 1976, he won the Reuben Award for the Best Cartoonist of the Year from the National Cartoonists Society. Bushmiller passed away in 1982, but his spunky creation lives on, appearing in more than 330 newspapers in 29 countries. Guy and Brad Gilchrist took over the Nancy comic strip in 1995, returning the art to Bushmiller's beloved style.
