As I said upthread, Fritzi Ritz has always been hot. In this latest incarnation, though, she looks somewhat more easily available than previously. I like it. The writers seem to be making an effort to keep the strip in real time with holiday themes and such. I can’t wait until summer rolls around. Fritzi _will_ be going for a vacation at the beach, won’t she? ---

> [@Scumpup](#): > > . . . In this latest incarnation, though, she looks somewhat more easily available than previously. . . . Well that’s just because the fashions in the older strips are dated. In those days, though, that’s how “available” girls dressed; she’s always dressed provocatively. ---

Nah, dude, that’s not so. I read **Nancy** as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s. Fritzi wasn’t dressed even in the conservative styles of the day, much less provocatively. In the 60’s, I never saw Fritzi in a miniskirt. In the 70’s, I never saw her in a slit skirt. Based on the images I linked to upthread, I am willing to stipulate that she dressed provocatively by the standards of the 20’s. ---

Didn’t save a link, and it wouldn’t be available now anyway. Just picture Fritzi, on the sidewalk, on all fours, and viewed from the same angle as the “R. Crumb” link above. ---

Oh yeah, and she’s in a t-shirt & shorts, and barefoot. ---

You really seem to have internalized that image. ---

That’s why I didn’t bother with a link. 😃 BTW: I had the angle wrong, it’s the reverse of the “R. Crumb” one. ---

All I can say is that I would eat that full of ice cream. ---

I _always_ thought Fritzi was hot. And **ddgryphon**? Thanks for that reminder about [Priscilla’s Pop](http://www.comicstripfan.com/Newspaper/PriscillasPop/PriscillasPop.htm). I tracked down a website that featured some of those strips, and recaptured a forgotten hunk of childhood. ---

Awright, it has to be done. Who’s hotter: [Aunt Fritzi](http://www.comicstripfan.com/Newspaper/Nancy/Nancy.htm) (scroll to the bottom) or [Brandy](http://www.libertymeadows.com/covers/cov020.jpg)? I for one can’t decide at the moment; I think experimentation would be in order. With a repeated-measures design. Purely for the sake of proper scientific validity, of course. ---

Brandy. I’ve seen Frank Cho’s college-era strips. Too cool. ---
