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

I hate to see how big she’ll become…

And Robert E. knew his stuff.

And that’s how Atlantis perished.

Doris ate all the plants.

Everyone starved.

Rain washed away all the soil.

Then Atlantis sank under Doris’ weight.

“The great Egyptian age is but a remnant Of the Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonized the world; All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis”. Atlantis Donovan

Way dowwwwwwwn below the o-cean…

CROM? Should we seeing Conan be for long.

This is where Time Traveling Sandy’s Trainer Teaches Mr. Am’s pet to roll over.

That beast’s teeth look like they belong to a carnivore.

Is anyone else as lost as I am with this strip? I’ve been reading it for a few weeks now and I feel like I’m reading two separate story lines instead of one cohesive plot.

kbaldwin: I’m afraid a few weeks won’t cut it. You’ll have to go back a few years to follow all the plot lines in Annie.

Hey, we’re fown to only two or three story lines. Wait’ll things get complicated.

It was a dark and stormy night. …, a shot rang out. A door slammed. A maid screamed. … Suddenly, a ship appeared on the horizon. … A little girl growing up in Kansas ….

Jogger2: That about sums it up. For those of us who sit at a computer, my favorite is: ‘As the fading light of a dying day filtered through the window blinds, Roger stood over his victim with a smoking .45, surprised at the serenity that filled him after pumping six slugs into the bloodless tyrant that mocked him day after day, and then he shuffled out of the office with one last look back at the shattered computer terminal lying there like a silicon armadillo left to rot on the information superhighway.’ –Larry Brill, Austin, Texas (1994 Winner)

There should be no nudity in Annie. Floral or otherwise.

Doris was introduced back in the 30s, in the Boris Serob story. Maeder reworked that story just a few years ago.
