Button 128: Nancy Eats Food (Ernie Bushmiller)

128. Nancy Eats Food (1989).

Issued by Kitchen Sink Press to promote the book Nancy Eats Food by Ernie Bushmiller, the first of five "theme" collections of Nancy & Sluggo comic strips. Featuring the "fat Nancy," this is a favorite image among the elusive Bushmiller Society crowd. This is the first KSP button issued at the new standard 1.25 inch diameter size.

Note to collectors: After 1984 Kitchen Sink Press stopped producing buttons that were intended primarily for sale to collectors. After a four-year hiatus, buttons produced beginning in 1989 were of a promotional nature. They were generally given away to distributors, retailers, fans at conventions and/or offered free to KSP catalog customers who ordered certain products. After 1988 virtually all giveaways were smaller size 1.25 inch diameter buttons (#158-61 are exceptions).

One note, for serious button collectors, you may want to read the KSP BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years, or see the COMPLETE KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient while it loads.
