Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for November 18, 2008

Check under the hut, Ollie. If it is Ба́ба-Яга́, there’ll be a giant pair of bird’s legs under there.

What we have here, folks, is a failure to communicate. But this is much better than the hieroglyphics from the previous arc. It could be the old witch, you know, but she sounds too desperate, as Marktrail points out. On the other hand, she sounds confident of her ability to hang on to Ollie. Wonder what he will wake up to? He may wish he could go back to the daily beatings.

I’ve had girlfriends like that.

Doc, definitely a baba, not necessarily Yaga. For those who need to know, baba is a generic Slavic word meaning grandmother. It’s shared by most Slavic languages, including Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Croatian and Macedonian.

Reminds me on how Gravel Gertie first came into Dick Tracy when she tried to woo The Brow.

“Daddy” might want to ask his girlfriend to shave her wiskers first. She does look a little bit like Robin Williams in drag.

Now we know whatever happened to Dennis The Menance’s Miss Esther Cathcart. Still trying to land that husband.

Vse znaet o skazki Babi Yagi!

Morning, Anniephans!

I wonder how she intends to convince him to stay?

She just may be immortal. And her house is also a mystical creature.

Never is such an awfully long time!
