DH Publishing as Living Space
DH Publishing as Living Space
(A Five Card Nancy)

2. Five-card Nancy is a dada card game created by
cartoonist Scott McCloud, where one detourns,
recontextualizes, and subverts Ernie Bushmiller’s
beloved midcentury comic strip Nancy.

3. The slides on this screen will depict Nancy and her
friends’ reactions to the radical transformation of
textuality and printing that digital publishing
represents.

4. When you actually live on the printed page, the new
world of Digital Publishing can be a bit...
Disorienting...

5. You may feel a little lost...

6. The hierarchies you count on are subverted,
muddled...

7. Your boring, reliable world...

8. ...is suddenly-- distorted.

10. Your reaction to this transformation will likely be
emotional.

11. You may well experience
ALL THE EMOTIONS.

13. Eventually, though, even the children of the
world of print come to love their uncanny
digital doubles.
