When I was a kid, there were not many little girls named Nancy (and, in fact, there are even less today). Every girl at school was named Jennifer, Meghan, Emily, Sara or some version of Alissa. I did not like my name. I clung to the precious few Nancys who were available to me, most notably my homegirl Nancy Drew. And then there was this comic strip, that for reasons due most likely to sheer inertia, was still appearing the in the funny pages of the Providence Journal in the 1980s. I tried to make it work with Nancy, pretending to enjoy her adventures with Sluggo, but, obviously, this just sucked. Not funny. However, every once and a while a strip would come along that struck a little closer to home and would make me suspect that me and the polka-dotted girl were indeed kin.

Sorry; a “Pete & Pete”-themed ‘zine? Yes please.
SUBMISSION: This piece was done for the “Waiting for October” Pete & Pete-themed zine. Here’s their universe, organized (somewhat) neatly.
Cheers,

And we would have been thrilled to have it.

Let’s make a banner to show them that we’re really serious.
Questiontime
What ’80s/’90s toys did you want and not get?
My answer: Snoopy Sno Cone Machine. When I was about 20 years old, I saw one on sale in a Wal-Mart for $14.99. That blew my mind a little. Then, I realized that the Snoopy Sno Cone machine was not some extravagant luxury my parents couldn’t afford, but rather they instinctively knew this was a piece of crap that would never live up to the hype. So, I guess I’m glad I never got one. I guess.
Yes! We’re on the same page … are you?
Did you “Like” Choose Your Own Adventures, too? Pay it forward!
Would love a little more clarity on where, exactly, the books are going - but sure, why not? I’ve got nothing but fond memories of CYOA.
