Plot
When Nancy Norton became an apprentice artist at Haggett’s Pottery, in Victorian Times, she was dismayed by the cruel abuse of the young people who worked there. The only way she could help was to make herself a favourite of her employers, which earned her name of “Nasty Nancy”.
Notes
- Art: Rodney Sutton
- Translated into Dutch as “Nare Nancy” and published in Mariska Starstrip #5 (1980s).
Appeared
- Nasty Nancy – Tracy: #153 (4 September 1982) – #161 (30 October 1982)
I remember that one. Funny how she almost has the same name as Nancy Norden, a real Nasty Nancy from “Be Nice to Nancy!”
Artist is Rodney Sutton as I recall.
BTW, full stop needed at the end.
Full stop after “Times” should be a comma, and comma after “employers”.
The word ‘favorite’ in the Plot Summary above should be spelt ‘favourite’, as ‘favorite’ is the way it is spelt in America.
Translated into Dutch as “Nare Nancy” and published in Mariska Starstrip #5 (1980s).

Artist Rodney Sutton
One of those artists I always recognize, but can never name!

I remember this one, though I only caught an episode or two of it. I’ve wondered how it ended.
Funny, the protagonist has nearly the same name as another girl nicknamed Nasty Nancy, from Judy’s “Be Nice to Nancy!”
Nasty Nancy ends with Mr. Haggett not being able to pay bills because business is bad. He comes up with a plan to burn the business to get the insurance money. Nancy overhears his plan and knows the children are there asleep. She goes to get the police and Haggett is arrested as he sets the pottery on fire. Nancy gets the children out of the building and finds Ned is still in the workshop. She dashes into the burning workshop and rescues him. The children realize she wasn’t Nasty Nancy at all and she lets them know she was just pretending to be cruel so she could help them. A new gentleman takes over the pottery with fair work and fair pay for all, and she has a new name of Nice Nancy.
Thank you, Ronnie.
