The Simpsons writer, The Doozies creator and unquestionable Ernie Bushmiller fan (evidence here and here) Tom Gammill spied a comic strip props from this season’s Mad Men that included several Nancy strip by Ernie.

Fans of Mad Men may have noticed this season that copywriter Peggy Olson has Sunday comic strips taped to her office door – they are Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy! I contacted the Mad Men set decorator, Claudette Didul, and she confirmed they were Nancy’s from 1969 (this season takes place in 1970). Here’s a close-up of one that is on her door, and the dates of the other ones they cleared with the estate.

Mad Men is in its seventh season and can be seen on AMC.
