Iconic New Orleans cartoon characters Vic and Nat’ly first appeared in Dixie on January 3, 1982. Vic was a sturdy man with a perpetual 5 o’clock shadow. Nat’ly was always in her iconic horn-rimmed glasses and statement earrings with a pointed hair-do. The brash characters were 9th Ward bar owners set in downtown New Orleans and were known for embodying the classic NOLA spirit. They portrayed the common linguistic habits of New Orleans residents, using the “Yat” dialect, which comes from the common use of the local greeting, “Where y’at?”
