Martina McBride Gets to "See You in the Funny Papers"

The comic Nancy was created by Ernie Bushmiller in the 1930s. Since 1995, the strip has been drawn and written in his classic style by Guy and Brad Gilchrist. Nancy is famed for its gentle humor and surrealistic sight gags. Nancy's childlike innocence never wavers. She remains a devoted friend to her pal Sluggo, and can be, depending on the situation, a conceited prima donna or a fun-loving, cute and cheeky little girl. And as luck would have it, she also has a love of country music.

Ronnie Milsap has been immortalized in a Nancy strip and while not found in Nancy, other stars like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw have all had comic books created about them.

And now it's Martina McBride's turn. According to the AV Club, her new album will be featured in an upcoming strip with Nancy singing songs from her upcoming release, Everlasting, much to Sluggo's dismay (apparently Nancy doesn't carry a tune as well as Martina!).

What a neat and different way to be honored!
