Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for July 13, 2009

For a split second, I almost felt a modicum of sorrow for Xaxos.

leakysqueaky712: Same here, the hands of Rhoda are not tender hands….. Love the guy with the paddle. I love this whole story so far, fun stuff.

Your right Margueritem…..Xaxos has met his match!!!

“My name id Talky Tina, and I’m going to kill you.”

That’s what’s so great about this comic. No one knows where it’s going and then waiting to find out.

And now the little girl is waterboarding Xaxos. That is just too delicious!

Xaxos has been having a bit of trouble with water lately…after being under it a year, what’s a bit of waterboarding?

Rhonda reminds me of an old commercial for a margarine…It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!!!

The young girl is having a Tea Party. She must be a good conservative, still celebrating the 4th of July.

good one, bribery! telly savalas better watch his step!

Is the young lady in the enclosed yard for her protection or for everyone else’s.

Joe Allen Doty: It wasn’t. leakysqueaky712 and I each think she looks like Rhoda from ‘The Bad Seed’. I think that Rhoda was played by Patty Mc Cormick.

Is anyone the least bit curious as to what someone in the Azores is doing with a cricket bat. The last time I checked the Portuguese weren’t high on the list of cricketing nations. Of course the guy could just be a British tourist - they’re everywhere.

JAD and L712: I looked up a photo of Rhoda on IMDB and she does resemble (and act like?) our little girl.

I was wondering the same thing. A cricket bat and a muscle shirt just happened to be walking the streets? I don’t trust him any more than any of the other characters in this story.

Two grown men with a dolly is not much better than little girl peeping Toms.

So, where’d all the tea go? Xaxos doesn’t have a tummy, after all.

This is where Robot Sandy’s trainer tells the submarine crew to bend over and take their thrashing like men.

I agree, Mr. Prongs. We’re not degenerates, we just want our dolly back. But wouldn’t grown men chasing after a dolly count as degenerates?

Morning, Anniephans!

An unexpected development.
