Nancy Woods - Relationship With Chuck

Relationship With Chuck

Unlike many of her friends, she and Chuck date appear to date exclusively with each other. In her early appearances, this was due to Archie Comics considering interracial dating controversial; a series of one-time African-American girls (Georgette, Liza, Gina, etc.), whom Chuck had a crush on, appeared before Nancy was officially his girlfriend's name.

In later stories, their exclusive relationship has been mainly attributed to their preference to be devoted to each other. At times, this has led to conflict. In one story, Coach Clayton and Chuck's dad installs a curfew on the basketball team due to poor play. As a result, everybody on the team improves except for Chuck who was sneaking out of the house in order to date Nancy, that is until Archie shows her the error of her ways.

Their relationship is not, however, entirely stable. A frequently-used story element is that Chuck pays so much attention to his cartooning or sports, as in earlier stories, that he forgets about Nancy or fails to notice her, thus angering her. Despite being critical of Chuck's obsession, she has an interest and talent in art herself.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship with, relationship and/or chuck:

    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “We must introduce a new balance in the relationship between the individual and the government—a balance that favors greater individual freedom and self-reliance.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
