Mark Newgarden and Paul Karasik wrote How to Read Nancy. (A pdf will download if you click on the link)
I've never really read Nancy, but I was so blown away at Newgarden's short comic Love's Savage Fury when I first read it in Raw so long ago that it sticks with me today. I couldn't find a full copy online, but a detail shows above. It's available in Newgarden's collection We All Die Alone.
It takes Nancy and Sluggo and casts them as a young man and woman who may have exchanged a glance on a subway train. It's told from the mind's eye of the young man as he tries to recall the moment.
What is it about that strip that resonated with me?
I don't know. It's like poetry.
