* StaticCharacter: Lesson 9 freely points out that Bushmiller intentionally avoided giving Nancy or Sluggo any kind of character development in order to keep his strip familiar to viewers and allow him to focus more on the gags instead.

** In Lesson 9: Nancy and Sluggo, its pointed out that while Bushmiller intentionally avoided giving his characters any kind of CharacterDevelopment in order to keep the strip focused on the gags, he did draw the line at [[FlatCharacter robbing them of any personality at all]]. His focus was on making sure that Nancy and Sluggo acted like kids first and foremost and that their actions and motives were believable, establishing these general traits for them to always follow:
-->"Nancy and Sluggo are imaginative, curious, skeptical, readily distracted, and completely self-absorbed. Just like real kids. Nancy and Sluggo are enthusiastic about ice cream, bubble gum, comic books, TV, snow, and what's inside the cookie jar. Just like real kids. Nancy and Sluggo (though parentless) are at the mercy of the adult world, whose sanity they often question and authority they often subvert. Just like real kids."
