 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Nancy
(Bushmiller's later claim of having created Fritzi is absolutely false.) Bushmiller's bold, clear art style, combined with his ability to construct a type of gag that appealed to a very broad audience, brought the strip to new heights of popularity — and his introduction of Fritzi's niece, Nancy, in 1933, carried it higher yet.
Toward the end of his life, Bushmiller relied more and more on his assistants, Al Plastino (best known for his work on Superman in the 1950s and '60s, and for ghosting Ferd'nand in the '70s and '80s) and Will Johnson.
When he left in 1995 to concentrate on Baby Blues (which he does with Rick Kirkman), the new team, Guy and Brad Gilchrist, drew their inspiration straight from Bushmiller — even to the point of re-using many of the earlier cartoonist's gags.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Fritzi Ritz

But the most important of Bushmiller's new characters was Fritzi's 7-year-old niece, Nancy, who came to live with her in 1933.

Ernie Bushmiller is turning over in his grave, I'm sure, to see how the Gilchrist brothers have inserted their love of Country Western music into a strip that has no place for it!
Ernie was a very capable illustrator and stylist who pared his art to a bizarre minimalist regimen, never varying because he didn't have to.
The style is certainly very faithful to Ernie's, and I am grateful to the hard-working artist for keeping Bushmiller's masterpiece alive.

 The Surreal Nancy Strips Just Keep On Coming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Ernie Bushmiller really pared his strip down to the bare minimum, the basic building blocks if you will, of the comic-strip language.
Bushmiller's own "Nancy" strips were sort of dull, but after cutting the panels apart and arranging them into various combinations I've found that Nancy can be surprisingly hilarious.
These halves are sometimes subdivided into two irregular panels, so a Bushmiller strip can consist of two "half panels," one "half" and two "smalls," or four "smalls." I decided to follow these formulae when rearranging panels into new Nancy strips.

One of the behind-the-camera gents was Ernie Bushmiller, who wrote for a number of comedians — most notably, Harold Lloyd — before settling down to this life's work.
Bushmiller produced his strip until his death in 1982, although the last few years were a morass of recycled or reprinted gags, many of them redrawn by ghosts.
Al Plastino drew it for two years imitating Bushmiller, then it was handed off to Mark Lasky and Jerry Scott and from them, to its present proprietors, Guy and Brad Gilchrist.
