Bushmiller's Nancy was fantastic.
Gilchrist's Nancy (the current comic) is an abomination.

It was created by Johnny Hart, along with his mentor Brant Parker. It started in 1964 and is continued today by their family members (both men died a week apart from each other in 2007).
At its peak, it was good. Today, not so much.

When Partch and his wife were killed in a traffic accident in 1984, he was six years ahead of schedule on "Big George". It ended in 1990, but only because his last contract for the syndicate was expiring and sales were waning. In fact, there was actually about a month or two of further material that was never published.

Last batch is from the strip's final years (including the very last daily). The Sunday version had ended back in 1966.
Swanson was in his eighties, his artwork was suffering immensely, and he never bothered to keep up with the times. He was pretty much frozen in time, back to the 40's and 50's. I'd be surprised if the strip actually had any clients left at this point.

After Rechin's passing, the strip was taken over by his son Kevin Rechin, with scripting by his brother-in-law, Bob Morgan.
However, out of respect for his father, Kevin decided to put the strip to rest on May 20th, 2012 (almost a year after his father's death).
The strip's been in reruns ever since.

Ernie Bushmiller was a special kind of something.
>>
>>90507535
From Wikipedia:
>Bushmiller started working each day about 2pm, and he often sat at his drawing table well into the early morning hours of the next day. He usually began a strip with the last panel and then worked back toward the first panel.

My job involves me going through newspapers from the 50's to 80's and if I have the time I read Dick Tracy, Lil' Abner, Peanuts and Arlo & Janis. Occasionally Nancy, Blondie and Priscilla will get a laugh out of me as well. The absolute worst is Snuffy Smith.
