A Nancy Update
Skip to comments
Nancy is one of a handful of ongoing comic strips that can trace its origins back to over a hundred years, the others include Gasoline Alley, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, and Popeye.*
So naturally those comics pass into other cartoonists’ hands over time. That time has come for Nancy.
GoComics’ latest newsletter updates the upcoming passing of the ink bottle.
The wait is almost over! Ignatz and Eisner Award-winner Caroline Cash officially takes over “Nancy” on Jan. 1.
After spending the past few months preparing her debut, Cash is ready to bring her signature wit to one of comics’ most iconic characters. “I’ve been having a blast working on my favorite comic strip,” she says.
For those of us who thought Olivia Jaimes may produce a farewell strip for the last Sunday of 2025, that’s not happening. Instead she will bump the Ernie Bushmiller reruns from the last day of 2025.
Jaimes’ final strip will run Dec. 31. Then, mark your calendars for Jan. 1 to meet the next chapter of “Nancy”!
