I always thought Nancy was an older comic strip. I guess it’s just the art style.
It is. It’s been running since 1938 as a spinoff of a comic that started in 1922, where the Nancy character was introduced in 1933. After the original artist passed in 1982, there’s been 7 artists who have created new strips, including Caroline Cash, who took over this year.
Its origins lie in Fritzi Ritz, a strip Bushmiller inherited from its creator Larry Whittington in 1925. After Fritzi’s niece Nancy was introduced in 1933, Fritzi Ritz evolved to focus more and more on Nancy instead of Fritzi. The new strip took the old one’s daily slot, while Fritzi Ritz continued as a Sunday comic, with Nancy taking the Sunday slot previously filled by Bushmiller’s Phil Fumble strip beginning on October 30, 1938.[2]

They should change the topic to the characters being cursed to immortality
And I think we should honestly include Mafalda, from Argentina, as an alternate-universe Nancy spinoff.
It’s been around for a long time.
