Ernie Bushmiller, Original Creator of 'Nancy'
The young cartoonist must have been the envy of all young male artists. By the age of 20, Ernie Bushmiller was given the job of drawing the shapely comic strip flapper <i>Fritzi Ritz</i> when its originator moved onto another comic strip. Over time, the talented cartoonist revamped the strip, added new characters and watched as <i>Fritzi Ritz</i> shot up in popularity. But, one of the new characters stole the show from her beautiful Aunt Fritzi. With her distinctive red bow sitting on black pot-scrubber hair, round baby-face and beaming smile, <i>Nancy</i> became the star.
