It’s been an anachronism for at least 50 years.

I never get tired of watching that movie. Ralphie’s Dad and my own were casted from the same mold!

It’s a hard-knock life.

Needs to be updated.. call it “Little Orphan Marxist”.. or “Little Orphan Maoist”.. or “Little Orphan Ludvila”..

Ludvila
The sun’ll come out
in Utopia
Bet your bottom dollar
That in Utopia
There’ll be sun!

Just thinkin’ about
in Utopia
Clears away the cobwebs,
And Bankrupcy
‘Til there’s none!

When I’m stuck with a day
That’s gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh

The sun’ll come out
in Utopia
So ya gotta hang on
‘til we’re in Utopia
Come what may

in Utopia!
in Utopia!
I love ya
for Utopia!
You’re always
A day
A way!

Ovaltine = Capt. Midnight! for those of us who remember wood and tube radios made in the USA.

Another classic gone, my favorite cartoons were little Abner, Dick Tracy and Terry and the Pirates. I guess they’re all gone by now.

Am guessing they never showed her listening to an mp3 player or going on facebook...

Annie always disturbed me (those eyes!) and Daddy Warbucks reminded me of the mutant offspring of Lex Luthor and Mr. Clean.

The horse laugh is that Tribune Media Services syndicates the strip, but The Chicago Tribune doesn’t run it.

But still Mary Worth keeps on going for no apparent reason.
