	Little Orphan Annie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Orphan Annie is a full page (later half page or tab) American comic strip, created by Harold Gray, that first appeared on August 5, 1924.
		In Gray's version, Annie, an orphan, was taken in by "Daddy" Oliver Warbucks, a prototypical capitalist of almost unlimited wealth and influence.
		Andrea, like Annie, sported curly red hair and a red dress, but unlike her was a very naughty orphan who had a habit of beating the other kids up.

		Annie was, and always shall be, one of the quintessential American heroes: a seemingly weak little girl, who had the ability to endure hardship and uncertainty with hope and hard work and strength of character.
		The fact that Little Orphan Annie was able to run successfully from 1924 until Gray's death in 1968, and then have a remarkably successful revival in reruns and in musical form is more proof that she is a part of American heroic mythology of the 20th century.
		Annie was a child, yet it was believable that she could develop and organize an enormous organization of children to aid in the war effort on the home front.

	And a Little Child Shall Lead Them-Little Orphan Annie on Radio
		Many of the later Orphan Annie fans had no idea that there were lyrics to go with the tune that was played on the organ at the beginning and end of each episode.
		Sometime around the beginning of World War II the makers of Orphan Annie's very own drink decided that they had milked her series for all it was worth and dropped it for Captain Midnight.
		Annie staggered along on the energy she had stored while drinking Ovaltine, but her producers, faced with the choice of canceling the program or selling Annie's soul, chose the sellout.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Little Orphan Annie
		Little Orphan Annie was not an original name — it was the title of an 1885 poem by James Whitcomb Riley and a photo that has hung in a Philadelphia gallery since 1909, among other things.
		Whatever her station, Annie's spirit was unquenchable as she buckled down and did whatever it was that needed to be done, foiling any number of thugs, politicians, and other crooks along the way.
		Annie became a radio star in 1930, and remained on the air for 13 years.

	The Eternal Orphan Annie
		Yet such vituperation had little impact on the strip's popular success and Gray's eternally youthful orphan would pluckily soldier on with her philosophy that life's a battle worth fighting, and that victory belonged to the brave and stouthearted alone.
		Warbucks was the orphan's mentor, friend, and foster-father for the entirety of the strip's run, and a figure that really set some peoples' teeth on edge as the very symbol of the arch-capitalist.
		Little Orphan Annie had been popular from the very beginning, so much so that by 1926 Cupples and Leon were reprinting strip in a series of hard covers.

	Analysis
		Annie and her story seemed to pull Daddy Warbucks and her audience to the political center just as Reagan himself was attempting at the time.
		Annie is a love story between a little girl with nothing but the courage to dream...and an adult with everything except someone to share it with.
		Annie needs a Daddy Warbucks to help her rise because she is an orphan, but specifically an orphan girl.

		Then she went on to do some TV movies and series, and her last movie was in 1988 and was called "A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon," in which as a teenager she played opposite the late River Phoenix.

		Annie had 4 kittens on August 13th, three of them are really healthy and of course my favourite is the poor little orange runt.
		I mentioned that they had suffered little from mom's cold and the thought was that there must have been antibodies/antiviral thingies in her body before they were born (she'd been sick weeks before giving birth) and these were passed to the kittens through the milk.
		The little girl is now Tabitha Twitchy (mostly white with fawn spots) and is the smartest of the bunch, learning how to get out of their 9" high box first and showing signs of nibbling at food first as well.

		Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie is one of those characters that has stood the test of time, yet I wonder how many of today's readers have actually read much, or any, of Gray's work.
		Annie is an icon, and like it or not, she's doomed to be remembered by the public-at-large in broad strokes.
		Now those who are a little more aquainted with LOA know the strip was a good soapbox for Gray.

		Perhaps, like me, when you hear "Little Orphan Annie" you think of an obnoxious little red-headed girl belting out "Tomorrow" at the top of her over-acting lungs.
		The slower strips provide a daily life element to the strip as Annie goes about her day working (she's a hard worker), going to school (always quick to learn despite the gaps in her formal schooling), talking with friends (mostly adults, often with criminal and/or mysterious pasts), and other such things.
		Annie is suddenly in some other local (in one case you turn the page and she is suddenly unconscious and floating on a piece of wood in a lake!

		Just as some humans have the ability to brighten up a room just by entering, this little cat has a similar ability to bring beauty to her surroundings in the out-of-doors...

		Little Orphan Annie did not sing "The sun will come out tomorrow." She had no time to sing or hang out with the other orphans.
		In 1924, Harold Gray created Little Orphan Annie for the Chicago Tribune.
		(That's right, Little Orphan Otto!) Thankfully, there were many strips featuring boys and none about a girl, so Gray changed the protagonist's gender and name.

		Little Orphan Annie was the first late-afternoon children's serial and was the mould that set up all the succeeding juvenile radio serial dramas.
		In the show, with the help of Daddy Warbuck, a war profiteer and a father figure for Annie, and her faithful dog, Sandy, they fought crime and solved mysteries, all before dinner and bedtime.

		My Mom had lots of experience with mares and foals and I had been around for a couple of foals our broodmare had had, so it wasn't long before I was bundling up in my jacket and tromping out to a makeshift corral we had made to help feed the foals once every two hours.
		the appaloosa colt was happily sucking away at the bottles of milk, but the little bay filly refused to drink anything, instead collapsing into the straw and falling asleep.
		It's been two years, and although seeing the two foals -- now named Annie and Ollie after Little Orphan Annie and Oliver Twist -- are looked forward to, they now stay in a pasture thats about a five minute drive from TRR, and it's sometimes hard for me to find time to stop by.
