I don't know if she's based on her, but his daughter does appear as Dethany at conventions.

I swear I read that she was based on his daughter (or at least his daughter was the inspiration for some parts of her) but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe I'm mixing it up with the cosplaying. Either way, it's kinda weird.

:siren:GUY GILCHRIST'S NANCY ENDS ON FEBRUARY 18TH:siren:

This was announced in a Tennessean article that spoils the finale story in the second sentence, so click with caution. No way in hell would I ruin the endgame of Nancy for anybody, so instead I'm only going to quote a little piece of the story...

quote:

Gilchrist, 60, said he’s giving up the daily “Nancy” strip to concentrate on creating animated TV shows, movies and maybe even a Broadway play inspired by the cartoon characters he’s given life to for nearly five decades.

He’s torn; Gilchrist said he’s psyched to get into new projects, but he’ll miss his daily sit-down with Nancy, Sluggo, Aunt Fritzi and their friends and pets.

"It’s a very very strange thing, I’m being pulled into television and all of that, and I’m leaving the strip," he said. "It’s very very odd to me."

No word on what happens with the “Nancy” strip after Feb. 18.

“We don’t have any public comment right now,” said John Glynn, president and editorial director for the strip’s distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication of Kansas City, Mo.

“Nancy” appears in 79 newspapers with an estimated readership of more than 3 million people, the syndication company said.

The company could hire another writer/illustrator, or it could re-run old strips or pull “Nancy” altogether.

Yeah, it struck me as off that Arlo was writing a check (I mean, diagetically; I get that Jimmy wanted to make a "writing the old date after the new year" joke) since he's been depicted basically forever as a smart and enthusiastic adopter of new technology (e.g. he's been going online since the mid-90s at least). For once, the GoComics commenters actually were of some use: a couple of them pointed out that a lot of small businesses either don't accept cards, or charge a percentage surcharge for their use. Then again, a lot of those same commenters are like "I don't trust debit cards" :corsair:

I haven't written a check in years. I'm sure some finance/commerce wizard could clear up the mechanics of it for us.

I believe The man was making a joke that Arlo’s 2017 date is fine, as it has already passed and the check is valid for deposit.

The joke in the strip is that even though Arlo made a mistake, no one physically deposits checks anymore, they get electronically processed and they usually hand the physical check back to you with your receipt. It's a bit of an observation on Arlo getting old because (a) he wrote a check (b) he forgot the date (c) he was mad at himself about his forgetfulness (d) it doesn't matter anyway because modern technology.

The only thing I use checks for anymore is rent, and the only reason I don't pay it online is because there's a $30 "service fee", which is a thing that apparently still exists.

Yeah I only just stopped using checks for rent. There's a huge fee for me too unless I do ACH right from my checking account. No more checks!

Lots of people still use them for stuff, though. Neither of my parents have ever had a debit card.

My grandparents still get cash at the bank with checks, they'll never use a debit or ATM card. They also have the service where the bank mails them their canceled checks with the monthly statement.
