Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for May 20, 2010

Good Morning Insomniacs :-))

Glad to be back!!

A very unsavory group I would say!!!

LEAKY!!, welcome back!

TY TY TY Marg….:-))

Good mornin’ LS!!!!!!

Good to see you back!!!

As for our unsavory group………………….the Pipeline is at risk……..which translates to OOOPPPPSSSSS!

Roughnecks… Pops is not too worried, not a sly old dog like himself.

Lets get low down and funky.

A gathering of rogues one night say. But what of our Annie? Will she be left in the trunk, or will Papa mention her. And if so, how will our rogues act? There are options here and none of them look good for our girl.

Funky!!

You are so correct, Shirttail Slim!

And where is VistaBill??????

LS……………is that RinTinTin???

(or WonTonTon?)

Glad to see you’re still with us, Shirttail Slim!!!!

Funky!!

I have never really known what that word means. I know a band called “Funky Bonz”, but I don’t know if they play ‘funky music,.

MontanaLady……….It IS Rin Tin Tin. :-))

Who’s worried now, Pops?!

GM, LS, Marg, MLady, VBill, LordD, WW, S Slim and everyone.

Welcome back, Leaky.

Every time one of our “sock puppets” is away, I keep thinking the washing machine is to blame.

TY Lonewolf :-))

Well, Lonewolf, if one sock puppet is missing in the washing machine, it will come out in a subsequent load……

…….and all will be fine again……….

As long as that’s the case, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside, ML! :^)

Margueritem I have been meaning to thank you for furning me on to azcentral. I get abou 75 or 80% of my comics fix there now. It takes time though, I have a dinosaur(?) dial up modem.

IMHO - Annie is being cancelled because of its conservative politics. The liberal media are offended by it. Check out what Warbucks said on May 5, 2002 and August 6, 2003. This is Censorship, folks!

@Shirttail Slim

Your not the only one. (sigh)

\\//_

Leaky: It’s Rinty and Rusty day!

what do you care, you’re want to secede anyway…..

GTFO

He does what is best for his country free enterprise and trade are the ONLY thing that has ever led to long lasting peace Yes sometimes he skirts the letter of the law to see that its spirit is fulfilled and he is an idealized capitalist a philanthropist and even fights corrupt businessmen as often as he does normal criminals, terrorists, spies, and saboteurs Sure he probably should go to the proper authorities but that would be boring and is part of the willing suspension of disbelief of fiction and it’s not like he doesn’t have the skills to get the job done and as a private citizen can do the things the government can’t He is also a self-made man, the name Warbucks as he started as a factory worker in a mutions plant while going to college at night, before working up to foreman where after making the company considerable money gave the employees raises and reinvested in the company instead of just keeping it for himself, yes he is a defense contractor so what, greed and patriotism/altruism aren’t mutually exclusive and can actually help each other. The ability to think of future generation when calculating pragmatic utilitarianism is what separates us from the animals. The world is not the way it is because of thugs and psychopaths, corrupt businessmen/politicians (which contrary to fiction are the exception not the rule) but because most people are too stupid to know what is best for them the extreme left and extreme right get caught up in their ideals and refuse to acknowledge brutal facts of reality no real world understanding of the extreme complexities of politics, economics, technological logistics, and how they’re all interconnected in the long run. People want everything right here right now the whole world just handed to them on a silver platter think just by complaining something will happen without a tangible plan. Such a plan will require a lot of long, hard, boring work all day every day for generations.

I’m here… 11 hours late! Welcome back, Leaky!

ecaacebackwards! Wow!! I don’t disagree with you but, I do wonder how often you stopped to catch your breath?

Good morning VistaBill. I too was wondering.

This guy doesn’t look like Daddy Warbucks. Ths guy is ugly in both manner and looks!

Love the tattoo on the sailor’s arm. Don’t see that any more and I miss them especially after the age spots, wrinkles and fat make them real funkytown. And the sailor’s shirt thats oldtime.

Hope everything is alright Bill!!

dkram ~ my condolences to you and your family

I’m fine, leaky. Just returned from the cardiologist and the nuclear thallium test results were fine. I’ll probably retire early tonight so I might be missing again.

As more money they try to extort Time for Annie is running short She must go, she cannot stay Or else her, they have to slay Papa, they have over a barrel Adding further to her peril Jolly Jack Tars they are not Nor lovable rogues with a yacht An offshore vessel they must meet To help papa make his retreat Annie in the trunk sure seems doomed These baddies need to be flooomed But that happens in another strip That TMS will not quit But Annie they leave to hang And that is a crying shame.

*WW* you are truly gifted. Please leave your brain to science when you die. We have to find out whats in there. :-))

Will they stop the world before the melt with the fleet?

Morning, Anniephans!
