Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for April 18, 2010

This is getting curioser & curioser.

GM Aunt Marg, VistaBill and all the night owls. :-))

I’ll bet he was with the law firm of Dewey, Cheetam & Howe.

Poor Ollie!

I watched your namesake last night, Rhoda. I had forgotten how evil she really was…..

Good morning, margueritem, leaky, and the rest of the night owls.

She really was BBBBAD TO THE BONE!

I watched it also, thanks to VistaBill.

I really would like to see Ollie & Connie tie the knot.

Just for a short while.

Marry her Oliver- if you’ll be stuck with someone you don’t like forever, might as well get the marriage tax deduction.

mrbribery……….if you wife read this your gonna be “cruisin for a bruisin :-))

leakysqueaky712 said, “I watched it also, thanks to VistaBill.”

I haven’t watched it yet. I have to get in the mood for such as that.

Bill……..get some cookies and a glass of milk and turn it on……….its worth watching.

Oh leakysqueaky, I shall tell her it was some OTHER mrbribery.

*VB*, I agree, it’s a classic, with good acting. Eileen Heckert won an Oscar for her role.

If she buys that I HAVE to know your technique.

mrbribery…………I think your technique is a dozen long stemmed roses and a box of Godiva.

mrbribery, what happened to the ‘shrunken heads’ part of your name?

Why dont you mind your business you old chowderhead.

I don’t know maybe because it’s a FREE COUNTRY. Good Morning Leakysqueaky, Margueritem VistaBill and all the other HAPPY people here.

GM LordDogmore :-))

Pay him no mind. He’s just a miserable person who takes pleasure in trying to bring other people down.

Nobody died and made him boss anyway.

MontanaLady———————MIA

LoneWolf————————–MIA

Fines WILL be assessed accordingly.

Marg, someone else used that nym, with the shrunken heads part.

LS712: I have found a box of Godivas almost always beats a box of shrunken heads…

There a dead body, that starts with B, that rimes with T, that stands TRUBBLE.

\\//_

Good morning Marg, Leaky, Vista and all you early birds who were here 6 hours ago. And good morning to everyone else as well.

Marg, the film received 4 Academy Award nominations, but no wins. The nominations were Best Actress in a Leading Role (Nancy Kelly), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Eileen Heckart and Patty McCormack, separately) and Best Cinematography, Black-and-White (Harold Rosson).

However, Ms Heckart did win the Golden Globe for this film.

I downloaded it from YouTube last night and wow, it’s as awesome a film as I remember it!

Poor Oliver hasn’t had much luck when it comes to the ladies. The first Mrs. Warbucks was a shrew. Then, after she reformed, she got drowned in a shipwreck. So then he marries Trixie, a show girl, (which may help explain Ollie’s attitude towards Connie) who tried to poison Sandy and send Annie to a reformatory. They ended up separating, though I don’t remember if Trixie or the original Mrs. Warbucks ever put in appearances later. Cartoon strip death was never very permanent in Harold Gray’s comics. Though it may be that Mrs. Warbucks stayed dead, because she was the only character in the strip who knew who Annie’s real parents were, and so far as I can recall, this secret was never revealed.

I saw “The Bad Seed” on DVD a few years ago.

After watching the entire movie, I thought I’d watch some of it again with Patty McCormack’s (Rhoda) commentary. She is really funny to listen to. I ended up watching the whole thing again with her commentary.

In between barbecuing I decided to look in the “chat room”

Good Afternoon David.

jtpozenel…..we were having a little fun with the Rhoda character……..she’s quite a topic.

Wasn’t Daddy “almost” married to that crazy old witch who lived in the woods in Russia??

I’m terrible at riddles dkram…….you need to spell it out for me. :-))

A small Dick Tracy-type recap in the first four panels, then the storyline carries on with Connie Gale being taken away as “a person of interest”.

A warning: If you leaksqueaky and marg don’t start talking more about this strip instead of anything else that doesn’t relate to it, the spammer isn’t the only one that’s going to be flagged!

Hello LS & Marg!

I am late today. Busy, busy morning, late night at pool and a busy afternoon to come.

Oh yeah, about the strip…………………………………..

Continuity glitch! When Annie first found the body, she was wearing a two-piece suit. Today, it’s a one-piece.

FLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAG Away little boy

and then take that finger and…………

davidf42I’m sorry to read that no Oscar awards were given. They certainly were deserved. Thanks for the correction. See what happens when I quickly read a blurb, and not the whole article?

Dampwaffle - I had forgotten all that. I barely remember the first wife, but not the second. Was the second marriage during the Leonard Starr years? I missed most of that era because I was so busy with a lot of other stuff in my life. In fact I think I missed the entire transition era too between Gray and Starr.

Josh THE MAJOR TROLL is now making threats?? What Marg & Leaky are doing violates NO* GoComics rules. *Your THREATS, however, DO! Everyone knows your are also Tink and a couple other TROLLS!!

jtpozenel - (At the risk of being flagged)

Where can I find that commentary? I searched YouTube and couldn’t find it.

davidf42:

I saw it on the DVD that I got from my local library. I just looked it up now and saw that it was a 2004 release of the film. 50th anniversary I assume.

Her commentary runs the full length of the film.

“Feed them a little poison maybe” ?? Was Daddy kidding, or do you think he really considers Connie that bad a person?

Time to make an honest women out of her, Ollie.

I’ts late in the night Ollie … better take it on the FLY …

Take it on the FLY ! How honest can I get ? ;-)

Morning, Anniephans!
