RIP Nicole Hollander

2026-05-04 05:09:26.346274+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Alt comics page readers will recognize the name: Nicole Hollander, creator of the "Sylvia" comic strip which ran from 1980 to 2012, has passed away.

On 26 March 2012, 'Sylvia' was discontinued completely. Hollander established a now-defunct personal blog to repost old comics and post new ones. Apart from her own opinions and work, she also offered room for articles and cartoons by younger artists. Her blog received the title Bad Girl Chats. Hollander quipped: "You have to be careful when you type in the URL, because you may get a porn site" (which ironically enough it became after Hollander's site was discontinued).

Via.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
