[Nancy, November 21, 1955.]
In today’s yesterday’s Nancy, Sluggo spies a pedestrian: “Here comes that nice Englishman we met yesterday.” And Nancy, from her chair, reading: “Say hello to him
--- make him feel at home.”
Did this Englishman wander in from Moon Mullins ? I see a strong resemblance to that strip’s Lord Plushbottom.

A nice Englishman

Because, of course, all Englishmen have monocles and wear ties like that one :) (and expect to be greeted by "old chap")
That’s the Nancy world. Rich people wear top hats, accountants wear eyeshades, hoboes look like Emmett Kelly, and so on.
I'm still laughing at the time when I knew the man at the coffee counter was Australian. So I said to two children, "We should make him feel at home." We held our paws in front of us and bounded up like kangaroos.
That would have cracked me up — and I can’t imagine it happened on a regular basis.
