Gent, I think I know how you feel about the direction(s) the strip has taken. I’m of a similar mind.
However, reading and reacting to the typed commentary by some readers/typists experienced in the ways of the comic strip medium, (and other media, such as film, music, tv and the ”fan” publications for all of those).
Those dimensions of media explored and commented upon are what keeps my interest levels quite high.
My read on the situation is that Nancy was quite sloppy with a jam jar in the kitchen, or somewhere else in their dwelling, making drudgery of a clean up for her Aunt Fritzi.
The big surprise for me is Fritzi’s PRINTING onto paper?
An ”Uncanny Old Gag”!
