Bunny Matthews’s beloved 9th Ward bar owners dressed as an oyster and a cow, singing the lyrics to “If I Ever Cease to Love” — the traditional Mardi Gras anthem of Rex, King of Carnival.

Vic and Nat'ly first appeared in Dixie on January 3, 1982 — Vic with his perpetual five o’clock shadow, Nat'ly in her signature horn-rimmed glasses, statement earrings, and pointed hair-do. Created by Will Bunn “Bunny” Matthews, the strip captured the brash humor and linguistic character of New Orleans’ Yat dialect, rooted in the neighborhood greeting “Where y’at?” This 1993 work in ink on paper is held in the permanent collection of The Historic New Orleans Collection.
