Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for August 05, 2009

Congratulations!!!

Aw, she was a little cutie.

Time ? What is time? The past, the present, the future…85 years…five months…not yet happened…

This message brought to you by Mr Am.

I’ve been enjoying the early strips as reprinted by IDW. It’s great to see this continuity strip still alive and well.

To quote Sandy: “Arf!”

And her cousin “Little Annie Fanny” will be 47 come Oct.

Years ago I read a book of the first 20 years of Little Orphan Annie. What marvelous story-telling!

My thanks to Maeder and Slampyak for continuing the tradition so well. I look forward to Annie’s centennial.

Memo From Daddy Warbucks

Happy Birthday, Annie!

An article saluting Annie appears on this newspaper Web site! http://www.gaylordheraldtimes.com/articles/2009/08/05/features/doc4a7853faa02cc544517138.txt

Happy B-day Annie. You deserve the praise.

Happy Happy Birthday Annie!

It’s a long time to go without pupils in your eyes.

The strip might be 85 years old, but It can’t be her birthday. She was born on February 29th. She’s only 21. Hope she doesn’t start drinking.

Congratulations Annie…Many more years of comic strips to come

Happy birthday Annie. Congrats to Jay & Ted.

Oh, and Charlie, it’s nice to see Brett & Bart Maverick.

Very cool. I’m sure this will easily be one of the few comics to make it to 100!

Congratulations! Thanks Jay & Ted for keeping her going. I’m looking forward to the 100th.

And “Annie” is one of the best older serial comic strips still out there…maybe the best.

Don’t change Annie.

Happy Birthday yous guys and Congratulations, TMS! What a milestone achievement!

Happy Annie-versary.

Look”in good for 85. Happy B-Day ,Annie.

Does that mean that Sandy is 595 dog years

Happy Birthday Annie! Please enjoy!

Chester Gould would be proud Jay and Ted, it was his favorite comic strip after his own.

Keep the Flag flying high and let’s see the Asp and Punjab soon.

Happy Birthday, Annie! I hope you have many more.

Great Comic strip, as always!

Happy Birthday, Annie

May you have many, many more

Happy Birthday Annie. How about finally getting some pupils?

Annie, you’re the greatest!

Way to GO!!!!!!! Happy 85th, you don’t look a day over 10. I gotta admit I like the older style more than the current, but it is a close race.

To Annie & Sandy: Tripple ARF! Glad you’re still out there & wish you were here in the local newspaper.

Annie’s been using those miracle moisturizers - “Look decades younger in SECONDS”

Great job, guys! Keep up the good work for 15 more (to make that 100)!

She doesn’t look a day over 79

Morning, Anniephans!

Happy 94th anniversary, Annie!
