Nancy is an American icon. She's timeless. She's a meme. The world-famous artist Andy Warhol once painted her portrait. She's been on a postage stamp. To this day, when you look up 'comic strip' in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, it shows a Nancy comic by Bushmiller!

As another famous cartoonist once put it, "It's easier to read a Nancy comic than it is to not read one." Nancy, along with on-and-off-again boyfriend Sluggo, deliver absurd laughs panel after panel, all rendered in Bushmiller's chiselled cartoon perfection that feels untethered to time or place.

An acknowledged masterpiece of humour and cartooning, Nancy's brand of lowbrow absurdism and unexpected visual delights have held sway over generations of early readers, artists and celebrities, to say nothing of its impact on American culture as a whole!

Bushmiller created Nancy from 1938 to 1982, and in recent years, interest in his work has surged to a fever pitch. Jam-packed with over 300 comic strips from the years 1953-1954, Nancy For All Seasons features a fresh and contemporary new design that will entertain all ages.

About the Author

Ernie Bushmiller (1905-1982) inherited the glamour-girl Fritzi Ritz strip in 1925. But Fritzi's niece Nancy, introduced in 1933, soon began to dominate, and in 1938 the strip officially became nancy. Bushmiller would continue to write and draw it until his death, winning the Reuben Award for best comic strip in 1976.
