Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for June 01, 2010

I’m sure Oliver will put his own people on the job.

Morning Folks, so as I understand it, when Annie folds we’re all moving over to Brenda Starr, is that correct?

Yeah, let’s see who this creepazoid really is!

Good morning nightowlsockpuppetgroupies!

That seems to be the direction LordD :-))

Annie won’t drown, she’ll wlk back to her Daddy’s hotel on the oil slick.

@Chuck………..The oil “spill” is a horrible thing down here.

I don’t even know why they call it a “spill”……….It GUSHING out like mad. Totally destroying our wetlands. :-((

Good job, Slim!

I saw that one Marg……..I think that was yesterdays. But thanks anyway. :-))

Yhe avatar is the first place I lived on Shirttail Creek

There is a phrase I coined that I use often in my writings, “Seen so many faces ain’t a one looks strange”

I have a song that I haven’t worked out the music to to my satisfaction. The name is “NOMAD”. Four verses and a chorus. Tonight the chorus, then a verse each night, I think you will under stand the title from the chorus.

Now Ive been here, and I’ve been there, But I’m still a long way from everywhere. I’ve lived in the city and out on the range, And I’ve seen so many faces ain’t a one looks strange.

I am always open to both criticism as well as adulation!

I like your style Slim

WW hasn’t given us an Annie poem in a while.

‘I like your styke, Slim.

I thank you, sir, and mark one up for adulation

Death has claimed sonny boy He lies there like a discarded toy Annie’s gone from our sight We have no news of her plight Her life cut short at a tender age And all we can do is vent our rage At the powers that did this deed May their sperm be withered seed But the sun will come out again tomorrow Only adding further to our sorrow And as she fades into the haze We count down the remaining days.

WOO HOO…………Ask and ye shall receive!!!

WW at his best!!!!!!! TY WW :-)))

Indeed, LS. WWat his best.

Are we gonna have a wake (virtual) on the 14th?

All is good now that our resident poet,   WW, has given us our reading for this day! Thank you!

My eyes are getting heavy. Good night to all you great people.

I’m done in,too Drink my tea, then do my sensjble senior citizen thing and hit the sack,

G’night all. Try not to dream about Annie.

Good morning, all dear friends…………only two more days and I’ll be back to normal….

We’re gonna hit a rodeo tonight. Always love Rodeos!

Shirttail…….you have a big Adulator here! I look forward to your stories and verses each day! You’ve lived what most of us just dream about!

Now, as to Annie……not fair……I want to see this come to a conclusion! Oh wait……I don’t want it to end!!

I like your avatar, ML! One of my favorite cowboys.

Hoo boy! The cowboy movies on Saturday. Two movies, a cartoon, and the serial, where we discovered how the hero survived the mess he left us in last Saturday morning. life was better before TV!

NOMAD; Verse 1

From the redwood forest with it’s awesome trees To the Carribian shore’s soft warm breeze. I’ve hopped a lot of freights and thumbed many a road With all that I owned on my back in one load. Sometimes I’ve gone in a way that I chose And….. Sometimes I’d just follow my nose. I’ve learned that life’s filled with constant change. And I’ve seen so many faces, ain’t a one looks strange.

Someday this will be a song, I just need a kick in the rear from my Muse!

Hey, all: I questioned GoComics about running old Annie strips. Here is a reply I just received (3:30 PMEDT):

Hello,

Since Annie is being canceled, no new storylines will be appearing. Reruns are a possibility, but we can’t guarantee it because of rights issues with Tribune.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Sincerely,

GoComics Support

N7326 Foxtrot……………I received the exact same response.

Well, I guess that is the final answer. Disappointing, but not really unexpected.

Like I said, expect the worse and hope for the best.

Why, oh Why could it not have been Dick Tracy??

I just checked my yahoo mail… Same message. … :-((((

WW, beautiful, yet sad….. <:-(

Slim, good song.

Slim, good song.

Thank you very much. I will post the second verse soon after the change-over. With the chorus.

Morning, Anniephans!
