Are any of you readers of the Nancy comic? Or historic nancy fans? A few years back Nancy's synidcate (I guess?) made a bold call to go in a wildly different direction hiring Olivia Jaimes to take Nancy in a weird modern direction based on Jaimes' own idiosyncratic take. It was a critical success and seemingly a sufficiently commercial success that it carried on until James recently stepped aside.

They then continued with bold decision-making choosing an award-winning indie cartoonist named Caroline Cash to take over and I've been loving it. In particular I love referential bits in daily comics and Caroline is definitely going there. Here's her latest that references other comics (and ala our host JB even includes herself in the comic).

Right, because I am the only artist who’s ever done that.

I did not know that NANCY was still being distributed. Used to read it back in the 70s.
