The color on these dailies is excellent. I wouldn’t be getting the gradient on their shirts or the green speech balloons for the goblin if I was still reading this in a physical paper.

I’d forgotten about the early-’80s thing.

Man, Redd Foxx has been gone for a long time. Miles’ Mom must have watched Sanford & Son reruns.

Everybody realizes we’re getting this arc because 2024 is the 100th anniversary of the debut of Little Orphan Annie, and she doesn’t currently have her own strip to mark it, right?

I’m intrigued by the fact that it looks like they really did swap bodies. Not what I expected when the strip replaced D*lb**t in my local paper, but I’m not complaining either. The whole “Uh-oh, she didn’t yell, that’s bad” thing definitely resonates with me. My father was one of those people where getting yelled at wasn’t great, but when he got really quiet, you knew you’d really screwed up. (I also get very quiet when I’m really angry or frustrated)

Every once in a while it hits me that Red Rascal here is now in his 40s.

Wilmer is roughly the same age as Skeezix (103!), so we’re in “Probably died off-panel” territory there. The strip I always refer to in regard to Walt’s age was one involving some kind of medal he received, where a man showed up at the door and said to Phyllis, “Your husband was born in 1898! It’s now the year 2001!” That would make him 20 in 1918, which is a bit of a reach with his backstory, but it’s the year I usually use when giving his age. 1890 does work better for the backstory. Uncle $crooge’s note about 25 being the minimum age for nurses in WWI is something I didn’t know, but it does work a little better for Phyllis having married Jack Blossom before the war and it makes her in her 30s when she first arrives in the Alley. It also makes her over 110 at her death in 2004, because if she was at least 25 in 1916 or ’17, she was born in 1891 or ’92 if not earlier.

It’s worth pointing out that Tiffany seems to be a better person now than she was in high school.

Lazarus Long, Superman, Dana Scully and Rufus and Joel.
I like how Melba still does the pull-up-the-blouse gesture, even though she no longer wears the outfit that required it.
