I was disappointed that of all the many comics that he has reviewed, there isn't one posting on what I've always felt was one of the lamest strips of all time, Nancy. Even as a kid, when Ernie Bushmiller drew it (and it was supposedly good) I thought that it sucked. Whoever draws it now has taken it to NEW levels of sucking, or as someone else so aptly put it the strip is a "pathetic excuse for a comic strip".

An interesting spin on the strip is the Dadaist card game known as 5-Card Nancy. Everyone gets dealt 5 strips,you lay down a strip and if you make a story with continuity, you get rid of the strip, otherwise you have to take it back. First player to get rid of all the cards wins. Some of the results are pretty funny, unlike the original work.
