In 1942, Paul Terry produced a couple of cartoons based on Ernie Bushmiller's cartoon strip, "Nancy". By the time I knew the strip in the early 1960s, it consisted of Nancy and Sluggo, with occasional appearances by Aunt Fritzi, the original flapper subject of the strip, in one-strip gags. Here there's an entire town and an "Our Gang" style bunch of supporting kids.
The cartoon is presented as three blackout sequences, each introduced by a classroom of pupils singing the praises of the Nancy comics. The sequences involve Nancy getting involved in civic-minded projects with typical comical effects.
It's a watchable cartoon, mostly because it doesn't stretch itself. If you're a fan of the old Nancy strip you might take some particular pleasure in it. Otherwise, it's just another cartoon series that never got off the ground.
