''Nancy'' is an American daily and Sunday comic strip, originally written and drawn by Ernie Bushmiller and distributed by United Feature Syndicate. The character of Nancy, a slightly chubby and precocious eight-year-old, first appeared in the strip ''Fritzi Ritz'' about the airheaded flapper title character. Larry Whittington began ''Fritzi Ritz'' in 1922,〔("Fritzi Ritz Before Bushmiller: She’s Come a Long Way, Baby!," ''Hogan's Alley'' #7, 1999 )〕 and it was taken over by Bushmiller three years later. == Publication history == On January 2, 1933, Bushmiller introduced Fritzi's niece, Nancy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Harvey, R. C. )〕 Soon she dominated the daily strip, which was retitled ''Nancy'' in 1938. Comics historian Don Markstein detailed the evolution, as the readership of ''Fritzi Ritz'' increased: Phil Fumble made a reappearance in the November 27, 2012 strip,〔(Nancy, November 27, 2012 at GoComics.com ) Retrieved 2012-11-27〕 and has become a regular character as of early January 2013, with the intention of furthering his relationship with Aunt Fritzi, including a hint at marriage.〔(Nancy, January 7, 2013 at GoComics.com ) Retrieved 2013-01-07〕 ''Fritzi Ritz'' continued as a Sunday feature until 1968. At its peak in the 1970s, ''Nancy'' ran in more than 880 newspapers. Al Plastino worked on Sunday episodes of ''Nancy'' in 1982–1983 after Bushmiller died. During that period, David Letterman showed on TV a ''Nancy'' panel with Plastino's signature and made a joke about Plastino as a superhero name. (Letterman's writers were apparently unaware that Plastino was known for his superheroes.) The strip has continued to the present day by different writers and artists. Mark Lasky briefly handled the strip in 1983 until his death from cancer at age 29. The strip was handed to Jerry Scott in 1984, who drew the strip in a much different, more modern style than other adaptations. In 1995, Guy and Brad Gilchrist assumed control of the strip, returning the artwork to its traditional forms.〔 The strip is now by Guy Gilchrist solo. The strip has an international popularity, especially in Japan and South America. It runs as ''Periquita'' in several dozen Spanish-language newspapers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nancy (comic strip)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
