Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for January 18, 2019
January 17, 2019
January 19, 2019
Is it just me or has the quality of Olivia’s writing been improving over the last month? Don’t get me wrong, I was already a fan of New Nancy, but I feel like, for me at least, I’m finding fewer strips I don’t like and enjoying the ones I do more on average.
With any artistic endeavor there’s an initial orientation phase; now she’s developed her central cast, adjusted to the constraints of syndication, found a narrative rhythm, and built up a few solid themes she can rest on. With all that under her belt I sense more confidence in her process, and more of her talent starting to show along with it. I think the dawn of Nancy by Olivia Jaimes is over and the strip has officially entered a new day: here’s hoping it’s a long and bright one.
