	Little Orphan Annie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Orphan Annie is a full page (later half page or tab) comic strip created by Harold Gray which 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.
		Probably no other comic strip has ever so completely glorified the American business ethic, although Warbucks enjoyed good relations with his unionized employees and there were a share of corrupt businessmen as villians.

	[No title]
		True, comics are a popular art, and yes, I believe their primary obligation is to entertain, but comics can go beyond that, and when they do, they move from silliness to significance.
		The first comic strip cartoonists were staff artists of major newspapers, and consequently, from the beginning, cartoonists were regarded as simple employees of their publishers rather than artists.
		The comic strip came into being as a staff-produced graphic, and comics have never escaped the perception that they are a newspaper "feature," like a weather reap, instead of a forum for individual expression.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Comics
		Comic strips rapidly became a defining feature of modern American culture after their introduction to newspapers across the nation in the first ten years of the twentieth century.
		Comic supplements were circulation builders for newspapers, and by 1908 some 75 percent of newspapers with Sunday editions had a comics supplement.
		The daily comic strip's four or five panels and fl-and-white format as opposed to the Sunday comics' twelve color panels was the first of many thematic and aesthetic innovations that fed the popularity of strips.

		As such, they provided the laboratory in which derivative genres of comics would come to maturity; they trained the talents who would develop the comic book; and they made lasting contributions to culture in the imprint of various fictional creations to first see the light on folded pages of newsprint.
		Comics, as understood today, originated as a by-product of a circulation war between Pulitzer and Hearst newspapers attempting to move copy via various types of features that would draw the eye of consumers.
		With comics providing a recognized spike to sales, publishers solicited more of the same; and, at the dawn of the 1900s, newspaper comics became a competitive form, prone to much experimentation.

	Did you Know...?: Little Orphan Annie
		Gray's original concept revolved around one "Little Orphan Otto" - but, thank heavens, he and his editor were progressive enough to realize that there were already plenty of strips about boys.
		With a supporting cast that included the billionaire Daddy Warbucks, and his enforcers the Asp and Punjab, however, Annie was often rescued from whatever jam she managed to get herself into - but audiences still had quite a rollicking good adventure with her before she was.
		Radio Orphan Annie was first sponsored by Ovaltine, and then by Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice Sparkies (towards the end of its run).

		However, upon returning to base, Orphan discovers that the plans the higher ups have for young Paco are just as bad as the group that X-Force rescued the young boy from, and when he refuses to hand the boy over, he finds himself under attack.
		However, when his teammates unexpectantly come to his aid, we see Orphan is able to remove himself from the tense situation, as he runs off to fulfill a promise he made to the X-Force member who died in this issue.

		However, his actions are halted by the arrival of Orphan, who easily figured out his gun was fully loaded, and when Wolverine joins the party, we see that it is the Coach who is lying dead on the ground when the battle is over.
		I love the fact that she has her eye set on leading X-Force, and that this issue hints that she may have played a role in the death of the rest of the team in the opening issue.
		I also enjoy the idea that this issue marks the first time we see that she may not be as bad as others believe her to be, and that her feelings for Orphan may very well be real, and not manufactured ones designed to help her grab the brass ring.

		While comic books prosper and have gone well beyond the standard superhero format, the comic strip languishes, rarely allowing new and creative strips to break through, while "institutional" strips (those that have not been amusing for years but are institutions, such as Heathcliff or Crock) dominate the paper.
		Comics curator Brian Walker, son of Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois), collects the best examples of this much-loved medium over the last half century.
		It also talks about Comics as an artform.Here I agree,one only has to look at how the artwork progressed in a strip like Dick Tracy and more recently Doonesbury,to see the advancement from very simple sketches to excellent art of colors, silhouette,perspective and all, to appreciate it.
