About the author

Ernest Paul "Ernie" Bushmiller, Jr. (1905 - 1982) was an American cartoonist, best known for creating the long-running daily comic strip Nancy. Bushmiller's work has been repeatedly addressed by other artists: Andy Warhol made a 1961 painting based on "Nancy"; the artist and poet Joe Brainard made numerous works based on Nancy; and many cartoonists have produced work directly inspired by or commenting on Bushmiller's art, including Art Spiegelman, Bill Griffith, Mark Newgarden and Chris Ware. The American Heritage Dictionary uses a Bushmiller "Nancy" strip to illustrate its entry on "comic strip."

[Heather McC · Rating 5 out of 5]

A ‘Nancy’ book that I would love to add to my own home library collection (I got this gem on loan from our Inter Library Loan system), there’s some great knowledge and truths to be found in this book. You’re only as pretty as you feel. Advice for the 2020 pandemic: don’t sweat the small stuff!

I’ll be off bargain hunting to track down this title for myself!
