And Speaking Of Favorite Aunts, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                     As long as we are on this subject, girls, I cannot neglect talking about Aunt Fritzi, created by Ernie Bushmiller, in the "Nancy" comic strip.  Aunt Fritzi is the aunt we all would have liked to been raised by.  For starters; she had a wild past; she was known as Fritzi  Ritz, and was a good time girl, who liked parties and action; something like a Paulette Goddard.  By the time Nancy came along, she had settled into domesticity, with those polka dot dresses and that impeccable hairstyle, that, nevertheless, made her look glamorous. 

                                     Poor Nancy!  You have to wonder about her, because living with Aunt Fritzi did her no good, as  none of it rubbed off on her.   Nancy was a pudgy little frump, with a hairstyle that suggested a lesbian in the making.  She hung out with Sluggo, who was clearly from the wrong side of the tracks,  and I always suspected their friendship was surreptitious.  If Aunt Fritzi had caught them together, she would have hauled Nancy into the house.

                                       Is it any wonder we wanted to be raised by Aunt Fritizi, let alone be her? Those legs, those heels, that figure; she was the most stunning thing in the comic book world of the Middle Class!!!!!!!!   Class was one thing she had plenty of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        As do all my girls out there!  So, get out those pumps, perm that hair, slip into that polka dot dress, and carry on the Fritz Ritz tradition.  Someone has to; Nancy is a lost cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          She's sure to be found, hanging out at Henrietta Hudson's!!!!!!!!!!!!
