Description
The cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller stated that his beloved Nancy was created for 'the gum chewers' and not the 'caviar eaters,' and this new collection of classic Nancy comic strips is perfect for gum chewers of all ages!
Featuring over 300 comic strips, Nancy Wears Hats is a hilarious introduction to the timeless classic, beloved by generation after generation of children and adults. 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. This volume collects strips from the years 1949-1950, when Bushmiller was cresting to the peak of his powers and presents the work in a fresh and contemporary format that will entertain for 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.
