5.0 out of 5 stars THREE ROCKS, February 2, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy (Paperback)

My dad bought me this over 10 years ago, and I've read it countless times. Bushmiller's art personifies a Platonic space stretching through the mind's suburbia, and this thick tomb has lots of strips from Nancy's many eras, giving you a good picture of the strip's evolution. Also some great historical material and some of the weird spinoffs of Nancy (the MAD magazine parodies and some abstract art stuff). If you've never read this essential strip, this is the book to get. If someone would just bother to reprint it...

5.0 out of 5 stars My Personal I Ching, April 5, 2008

This review is from: The Best of Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy (Paperback)

I consult the works of the great Bushmiller almost daily. This jumbo volume serves as an I CHING for me. WWND (What Would Nancy Do?) Random consultations of this tome's pages can solve all of life's vexing problems. Three rocks=universal symbol of balance and calm. Zen gags and images an industrial lathe could have fashioned make Bushmiller's NANCY ever-important, ever-comforting and ever-inscrutable. Turn to Nancy and Sluggo for your pressing questions!
