Oh, the fiends!
Them duckies is gonna get creamed.
How come the cars are old-timey? I haven’t had Little Orphan Annie in a paper for years, but wasn’t she in modern times? At least when I read her last she was – driving in modern looking cars, using modern looking appliances. Has that changed and they reset her back to her glory days of the '30s?
Mrs. Mallard is probably the great-great-great-great-grandmother of the poor sexually confused duck in the current story arc of Mark Trail that’s being savaged at the Comics Curmudgeon…
*The story arc’s being savaged (and Mark Trail in general), not the poor duck.
Make Way for Ducklings! (and the comic is clearly referencing that).
Am I the only person who had absolutely no idea Little Orphan Annie was still a comic strip?
Annie and Warbuck’s lady aircraft pilot have time traveled to 1930’s Boston. It’s a long story involving Atlantis.
Arf!
No. No you are not.
We were trying to keep it secret from Canadians.
Ah! Thank you!
Are Annie’s eyes still blunked out?
Don’t know about that, but she’s a hilarious stripper.
Oh, so they’ve finally decided to inject some realism into the strip.
Why did it have to be Mrs. Mallard and not her husband? Damn republican duck.
It isn’t. The strip’s been called simply “Annie” since 1979.
As a cartoonist myself, I wish strips would disappear upon the deaths of their creators, but Annie Warbucks and Dick Tracy have an international name recognition that most newer characters lack.
Allow me the poetic license; if I’d just used “Annie 28 Sep” as a title, most Dopers wouldn’t have know what I was talking about. 
You are correct, Sir.
True dat.
I can’t help but agree. 
Does the strip still manifest Harold Gray’s right-wing politics?
I believe so. There was a bit about border crossings a while back, and now these darn ducks.
