Never liked it....never will...

I enjoyed the movie, 1982 version I think (the one with Carol Burnette). Never got into the comic strip, or comics in general. Sounds like it just wasn’t edgy enough for this day and age. They would have to make Annie an illegal alien with drug problems and Daddy Warbucks a flaming homosexual, to succeed today. Sad really.

Now would they please drop Marmaduke, Dennis the Menace and Family Circus?

Back in high school, I read a book collecting all the Annie strips from the beginning through the 50s. Great storytelling and a conservative POV. Punjab and the Asp live!

Leapin’ Lizards! No surprise it died, Tribune Media Services couldn't even get the strip printed in the Chicago Tribune. How pathetic do you have to be that you can't get the strip printed in your own paper?

We need Daddy Warbucks running the country. };>)

I used to read that comic strip every day, and rush home from school to listen to the latest adventure on the radio. Little Orphan Annie, as well as Tom Mix, Buck Rogers, Jack Armstrong, and a few others. 15 minutes of each, every night.

I didn't know the strip was still around. I thought it quit when Harold Gray died.

What else am I missing that's still around? Krazy Kat? Freckles and His Friends?

“You look radiant, my dear”, said Leopold “Daddy” Kriegmarks to the nubile, yet buxom, pupil-less alien girl, as he admired her skin tight space suit and long curly blond hair; yet she had become fascinated by the jumping iguanas of this far-off planet.

Arf! Needs a stimulus package to keep her day job.

There was a time, in America, when reading was a popular diversion from everyday life. And comics were the preferred choice for millions of people. Now, reading is passe. Subsequently, comics are no longer what they were.

While not a big fan of LOA, I mourn the passing of the great comic strips - Steve Canyon, Terry and the Pirates, Lil Abner, Smiling Jack, The Phantom, Dick Tracy to name a few. We are not the better for having lost this media.
