A lesson many in the entertainment media still havenât learned. Remember a few years ago, when Annie was âupdatedâ to make her more relatable. A twelve year old girl wrote to protest, saying that the character was an icon and did not need to be changed. This from a young person, the very audience the media want so badly to reach.
âŠExturk , Iâm glad to see (I assume) another person who doesnât entirely like the colorizing here !!!!!!!!!!! :-) BTW , have the present-day strips been re-lettered , as well ??? It should be said , however , that Little Orphan Annie got discontinued as a new strip in the Seventies , going to reprints then , and coming back as " ANNIE " only after the success of the musical ! Tomorrow , tomorrow⊠If you subscribe to this strip , sometimes youâll get a B&W version in your mailbox , although Iâm unsure if thatâs just the colored version with the color still there , just shown in B&W⊠M&Jâs appearance make me think of the " earlier " 50s and Jack Kerouac and NeallCasady (now that the ON THE ROAD movie is coming out) !âŠ
