The comic strip Nancy, writes @PictureBoxBooks, was “always governed by Ernie Bushmiller’s private comedic rules: 3 rocks are funnier than 2; Nancy’s hair never has fewer than 69 or more than 107 spikes; the scenery...must be hand-drawn but always generic.”go.nybooks.com/3wB3XnC

“Every cartoonist has a guiding obsession. [Ernie] Bushmiller’s was constructing the perfect gag. He built Nancy from back to front, starting with the punch line...and then working his way back to the beginning.” —@PictureBoxBooks go.nybooks.com/3uHmm1H

A few words on Aline Kominsky-Crumb:
Aline Kominsky-Crumb was the first artist to make comics relentlessly examining the private physical and emotional lives of women, writes @PictureBoxBooks. “Her quavering, thin lines were as intentionally imperfect as the lives she depicted.”
