    Sleek jet races ‘cross the sky

    Need not ask, who, what or why.

    Warbucks comes to Tracytown

    Punjab, Asp of wide renown.

    Annie and her canine friend

    Wags his tail. He shall defend.

    New adventure. A clean slate

    Crimestoppers won’t hesitate.

    Investigate a mystery

    Untangle Trixie’s history.

    B-B belongs in a cage

    Lock him up and watch him rage.

    Good morning™, summer vacationers!

    I’m not making any bets on it being the most peaceful summer ever. Clearly, Annie has not spent enough time in the Tracys’ city to know that it’s rarely all that peaceful.

    Good morning™, that thing Neil said !

    Asp’s more normal eyes really stand out, against the rest of them.

    What a surprise

    Annie and the guys

    Are back in a Sunday strip

    ’Tis a treat for all of us

    Who made a big fuss

    When Annie made a one way trip

    Of course it’s a shame

    The strip ended so lame

    It’s great Mike and Joe care enough

    To bring the gang back

    They have shown a real knack

    To explore all this cross reality stuff

    Annie’s got to learn that made in China crystal balls are not dependable :D

    And why not Brenda Starr at this point. She could be the anti-Wendy Wichel

    Perhaps peaceful would be a week fishing with Tracy’s One Eyed friend

    I was going to say something to the effect of, Ah, the innocence of childhood, but the positions of Annie’s eyebrows in the last panel belie her years in the comics… she knows that ain’t gonna happen.

    BTW, welcome back, Asp and Punjab. I can see them getting together with Mysta Chimera (Moon Maid) to give Tracy & Co. a bit of a respite by cleaning up the town…

    BTW – with all the characters (including Sandy) in the jet, I’m strangely hearing the theme music for Johnny Quest

    Another Take  over 5 years ago

    4- ANNIE: So you’re Dick Tracy’s dad? WARBUX: Yes 5- ANNIE: And mine and Sandy’s dad? WARBUX: Yes. SANDY: ARF! (Can’t you see the resemblance?) 6- ASP: How do you like the outfit I picked out for you Punjab? 7- PUNJAB: I find it to be repugnant and an embarrassingly stereotypical example of the way you people view people from my country. Furthermore, my name is not Punjab. ASP: Ha! You’re hilarious Punjab. That’s why I keep you around. Now fetch me a drink. PUNJAB: (sigh) Yes Sahib. 8- ANNIE: I can’t wait to meet my brother. SANDY: ARF! (Me too!).

    On the other plane, Capt. America, Dead Iron man, Mutt and Jeff and Kerry Drake. Throw them all against the wall and see who sticks. BTW, Avenger; nice rhyme scheme.

    When you’re a character like Dick Tracy or Little Orphan Annie, “peaceful” is a word seldom used.

    I like Stanton’s and Curtis’s take on the “Annie” style artwork, but Punjab looks more ominous than The Asp.

    PILOT: Mr Warbucks… Mr Warbucks… we’ve lost engine #1… what should I do?

    OLLIE: Use engines 2 thru 4 you idiot.

    PILOT: But Mr Warbucks, we lost engines #2 and #3 at the same time

    WARBUCKS: Then why didn’t you say that at the beginning you idiot?

    PILOT: Mr Warbucks, Mr Warbucks.. engine #4 is gone now, what should I do?

    WARBUCKS: (grabs the only parachute on the plane) "Say hello to my dead wife Trixie for me and tell her that 20 years later shes STILL a damned thorn in my side!

    (OPENING ESCAPE HATCH)

    Warbucks waves to Annie, Punjab, Sandy and The Asp as he leaps out of the plane

    WARBUCKS: SEE YA SUCKERS!!!

    Looks like there was a “bench seating sale” at “PRIVATE JETS ’R’US” when Ollie was remodeling his jet.

    By the way, ive NEVER seen a “private jet” with a sunroof.. nice touch ;)

    Must be something in the air re-circulation system on the Warbucks jet (I like the big W-logo on the tail): nobody except Asp has eye pupils [hey, it’s a little joke, okay?], and he seems to have lost a good deal of weight. Asp is looking positively gaunt….
