Listen "#593 "Reading 'Nancy'", plus "Cat and Mouse"!"
Episode Synopsis
FLASHBACK! A comic strip gag can be a deceptively simple thing. Once you take it apart -- "deconstruct" it, one might say -- you find that it actually has many moving parts. (Click to enlarge) Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden's How to Read "Nancy" takes a close look at each of those parts -- as well as arguing persuasively for Bushmiller's underrated artistic chops, and giving us some comic-strip history as well. Tim and Patrick review. PLUS: Roland Mann, Dean Zachary, and Kevin Gallegly join Tim to talk about the return of Cat and Mouse! (Originally published May 21, 2018.)
