‘Nancy Wears Hats’ is available now
It can be nice reading comic strips sometimes. Most of the time they are fun and can make me have some laughs. When I first heard about Nancy Wears Hats I thought it might be a fun book to read. I was able to get a review copy of this collection and here is my thoughts on it.
You can read the plot for this book here:
Nancy, along with on-and-off again boyfriend Sluggo, deliver absurd laughs panel after panel, all rendered in Bushmiller’s chiseled cartoon perfection that feels untethered to time or place. An acknowledged masterpiece of humor 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.
This was a pretty fun book to read. Each page had a set of strips, and had Nancy and friends going on some crazy journeys together. Sometimes Nancy would end up learning a good lesson, but this wasn’t always the case. Fans of this character will want to pick this book up.
