Well,Margaritem. I am 78, be 79 this Sept. I’ve been reading comics since I learned to read. I remember laying on the floor reading the Sunday funnies when I was sever or eight. One of the strips I miss the most is Prince Valient.
Remember him?
Dance for me my puppets! Do the bidding of your master!
Dance, destroy, kill, KILL, KILL!
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hello, this thing on?
Testing 321,123, testing testing.
Annie is trapped by the muscle-bound child
Who looks as if he is going quite wild
Twisted by his papa, he desires to kill
Of blood and gore, he never gets his fill
But the one thing that they do not know
Whoever tangles with Annie soon gets laid low
Such a veteran of dangerous mishaps is she
They would do well to turn around and flee
Their ignorance will certainly not be bliss
As they receive fates ever so deadly kiss.
Thank you leaky, margueritem and Lonewolf.
Welcome Floyd H., we are harmless, really. Well, most of us, but you must look out for margueritem.
Nice having you here Floyd,
Just beware of the Squeaky one, she/he might railroad you into verbal indescretions and then cast you as a “lurker” This boads version of “Anja Nu” a Play Director over in Dick Tracy. She ‘chats’ more than the real Actors are allowed here. As they say in the cartoons she Quacks too much ;-)
And if he keeps on coming, you’ll get the best poetic description of what happens every day, from wndrwrthg
And margueritem is the sitting Queen
There’s also a female guard here that carries a MI-5 (British Secret Service coding) “001” And she may by licensed to kill
Then, if you indulge in the ‘morning greetings’ thing, there are two posters that resent it, and one who masquerades as a gold coin may double over laughing and even call you a “sock puppet”, whatever the heck that means.
The artistry is still fabulous.
You have some years on me, but I, too, remember spreading the funnies out on the floor and kneeling down reading them through: Red Ryder, Kerry Drake, Archie, Li’l Abner…
It kicked off a lifetime of reading for me.
I wish I could find a real Li’l Abner site. Comics.com just repeats a small set of partial stories. I don’t know what’s up with that.
Probably locked up back at the house, unfortunately. Annie couldn’t very well take him along on her nocturnal excursion given his all-too-audible reaction to Junior, could she?
Hi Floyd, I actually do enjoy looking for the bloopers in films. Quite a few directors place them in their movies on purpose. I get the impression from your post that you don’t approve of this. Sorry, but I certainly feel I’ve earned the right to point out mistakes with the strip if I feel like. I also enjoy looking for spelling errors, such as your mistake with the word aging. No e in it. (unless you’re a Brit I suppose) Golly good!
OK, I’m not so insecure that I have to point out that I discovered the hat blooper first, so I won’t say a word. Not one word. No way I’m going to say I was first. Nuh-uh.
Ray - No she didn’t have Sandy with her.
BassMan - I’m a lot like you. I look for those bloopers, too. I think it’s a lot of fun.

I’ll give you half credit, David. I take the other half for noting the lost cap on Saturday.

Looks like Junior gets some sort of perverse pleasure in putting the quietus on people.

Good morning all.

Hey, Leaky,

Hello, folks. I’m new here as far as commenting goes. I’ve been reading Annie since before any of you were born, probably.
My name is Floyd. This Annie is a trouble magnet, I think. Anyway, just want to say hello.

I fear for our little Annie! She’s a scrappy one, but perhaps not scrappy enough!

Welcome to the “group”
linsonl over 14 years ago
Yeah, Floyd, Prince Valient is still around here somewhere, I get him in my Sunday paper and he was doin’ fine yesterday.
leakysqueaky712 over 14 years ago
FloydH………..Prince Valiant can be seen at……dailyink.com
margueritem over 14 years ago
Welcome Floyd H., you have me beat. Yes, I get ‘Prince Valiant’ on line from Dailyink.com. The drawings are still wonderful. I also get ‘The Phantom’.
Leaky’s right, I also run a Nigerian banking scam, and a ‘your friend is stuck in Malaysia and needs $2500 right away so she can get home’ scam.

BLOOPER ALERT What’s with Annie’s appearing, disappearing wool hat? Sorry Ted but that’s sloppy artwork.
Peace.
shirttailslim over 14 years ago
Thanks for the input folks. Just got up (8:00 A.M., Tucson, AZ). I shall go looking for the Prince V. today.
Oh, Bassmanbob, about your blooper alert: I bet you have fun with the movies. I’ve seen very few that didn’t have a blooper or two….. At least,
Monday, Monday, love it. Checking out the strips that tend to have a weekly story-line, like Doonesbury and Tank MacNamara.
Advice on ageing: It ain’t for sissies, but if you keep a bit of child in your heart (like reading the comics) it eases the way. Works for me.

Prince Valiant still appears on Sundays.
Go to the Hearst website or run a search for a paper that carries it,

I thought Sandy started out with Annie on this little reconnaissance patrol. I may be wrong, but am too lazy to check.
shirttailslim over 14 years ago
Bassmanbob6, I do not disapprove at all. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. I just never was in a position to point them out in the comics.
Are you a musician, as your avatar might indicate? II play some guitar.

Hey Floyd, I play a little bit. Always open for a jam session!
