Nancy creator Ernie Bushmiller sure looks happy!

I have a post you may enjoy, from the ever wonderful Life Mag/Google Archives. It's from 1950 and it shows the artists of Nancy, Smokey Stover and so on drawing on scantily clad young models. It's kinda creepy but sort of endearing in that old time girdle fetish way, too.
It reminds me of an event Craig Yoe would produce.

A bunch of old school strip cartoonists draw on the bathing suits of comely young models

    Shriiimp?

    Is that Aunt Fritzie he’s drawing on? You know, back in the day she went by ‘Fritzie Ritz.’

    Actually, Fritzi. No ‘e.’

    Lousy parenting skills though. Who would let their niece hang out with a thug named Sluggo when Rollo the rich kid was available?

    To Godisafictgion they DO paint bathing suits on women. Check some of your racier high profile magiznes.

    Actually it looks like Rodney Dangerfield

    Oh come on, don’t draw Nancy. Not even putting that on a model’s bathing suit makes it worth looking at.

  • jaytkay

    Is that a photo or a Drew Friedman piece?

  • BrotherPower

    JAYTKAY, absolutely perfect call.

    Plus ça change: Jim Mahfood and a bunch of others did this exact thing at San Diego this year, only the suits were a lot, lot smaller.

    It’d be better if they were drawing bathing suits onto the comely young models, which is how I read it.

  • truballer2

    lol.. yes i would prefer that also. it’ll be a real treat to see

    Man those seams are sewn into the perfect shape! Where can I get a “bathing suit” like that today?
