Nancy: A Comic Collection | Olivia Jaimes
In 2018, Olivia Jaimes became the first woman to write and illustrate the classic comic strip Nancy. Her fresh, irreverent take on the classic comic strip has become a sensation with readers and has earned praise from dozens of media outlets, several of which have named it the best comic of the year. This hardcover collection includes the first nine months of Jaimes' run on Nancy, along with an introduction, essay, interview with the author, and a special gallery of Nancy fan art by the author.

Book 2 of 2020 is another comic. This one also one I hadn‘t heard of before. Apparently it started in 1938 and was at its height in the 70s (in over 700 newspapers). Growing up in Singapore, our one newspaper was (and pretty much still is) The Straits Times and they didn‘t carry Nancy. Or at least I don‘t remember that they did.
So it was another case of browse the ebook catalogue and oh this looks fun and hit download. (Continued 👇)

RealLifeReading And what a delight this was. Seeing the cover I expected an older comic so I was thrilled to see how phone addicted Nancy was - and also soon realized this was the new Nancy. One that was published from 2018 with its first-ever female author who goes by the pen name Olivia Jaimes.

And Nancy is such a hoot. She‘s grouchy and she‘s sassy. And it was such an absolute delight to read. I just loved every page of it, especially those meta ones!
