Morning, Anniephans.

Here’s the link to Annie 2003 .

davidf42; Thanks for your ‘un-blurring translations’ all these Sundays for the ‘AnniePhans’ out here on the Information Highway.. I read an article in this AM’s paper about kids today can’t read or write cursive/longhand/script ,as it’s “not relative” anymore and goes unlearned. Can you imagine a kid trying to read the writing in todays strip? Must look like Greek to them.. Sad, just sad..

Thanks so much, david -some of us have “old eyes”.

Funny and ironic that I find it much easier to read the script in this strip than I do the print in most of the Sunday strips.

I didn’t know Santiago was a captain – of what? She isn’t in uniform.
