Around January 24, 1938, Sluggo Smith made his first appearance in the dailies, fighting with an older boy who has thrown a snowball at Nancy, and through 1938, Nancy and Sluggo were often in the ''Fritzi Ritz'' Sundays. Proving the pair's popularity, it was not unusual to find ''Fritzi Ritz'' Sundays in 1938 to only have Nancy and Sluggo in the episode with Fritzi nowhere to be seen.
 
From late 1938 on, Phil Fumble appeared only in the ''Fritzi Ritz'' Sundays as Fritzi's sole boyfriend until the ''Fritzi Ritz'' page ended in 1968.

Bushmiller ceased drawing the Sundays in the late 1940s.{{citation<ref needed|datename=January 2016}}lam/> Later ''Fritzi'' Sundays were drawn by various ghost artists, such as Bernard "Dib" Dibble<ref>https://www.lambiek.net/artists/d/dibble_bernard.htm</ref> and [[Al Plastino]]. Non-Bushmiller ''Fritzi'' Sunday artwork was less detailed than Bushmiller's style when compared to the mid-1930s/1940s style. Dibble's style was different from Bushmiller's, as evident in ''Fritzi'' Sundays of the 1950s.

Fritzi Ritz appeared in a number of comic books published by [[United Feature]] (a few titles were continued by [[St. John Publications]] and then [[Dell Comics]]).<ref>https://comicvine.gamespot.com/fritzi-ritz/4005-9878/</ref> Some of the comic book covers, especially in the 1940s, were done by Bushmiller himself. As the 1950s progressed, Bushmiller ceased drawing comic book covers.
