Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for April 16, 2010

Another “uneventful” day in the life of Annie

So it was the PI that bought the farm.

You KNOW Connie didn’t do it.

Had to be one of those sinister sisters.

GM Aunt Marg, VB, and all :-))

Annie is certainly more exciting that DT!

Good morning leaky, margueritem, and all the other night owls.

I can’t deal with DT anymore VistaBill.

I dont even read it.

Ah, my sweet little niece! What have you been up to today, Dear?

I think you’re right, Connie is too obvious…

We had some nice hot crawfish today………….it was fun watching them boil.

She’s REALLY not going to get any sleep when she finds out he’s dead.

This does NOT bode well for her alibi.

‘Morning, VB!

Rhoda did you suck the heads?

NO WAY JOSE…………….but I do get the fat out of em.

WHO is Rhoda?????

Well, now she doesn’t have to go back to New York…

And at some point she”ll tell her story to Oliver.

MontanaLady…………pills & booze will help you keep up with us….:-))

Rhoda=The Bad Seed………….and don’t you even try and tell me you haven’t seen that movie…………it’s a classic.

It was the one armed man, he was hired by the Blue Circle, and paid for with money embezzeled by Warbucks Evil double. I think, but then I could be wrong. He might even have run afoul of the insidious Spell Check Nazis, and they clubbed down with a lead filled #2 pencil. Oh And good morning to one and all.

LeakySqueaky…………Never heard of the Bad Seed…………

Looked it up on IMBd, and boy, I’m REALLY not into that much suspense. Love old classics, but, not that much suspense.

About the pills and booze…………..How’s Merlot sound????

that works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a winner to me MontanaLady :-)))

Good Morning/Late Evening One & All.

Just dropped in because I see some familiar names here. I used to read the originals years ago. Glad to see most everyone is doing well here. :^)

Welcome to our little insane asylum Lonewolf :-))

Little insane asylum? Well then, by many accounts, I should fit right in! Thanks, LS!

Leaving his papers in their place Means that he is easy to trace A fatal flaw from the one who killed Must not a professional from the guild Whacking the dick makes no sense Not even Connie can be that dense She still has time to spill the beans And ruin the old biddies monetary dreams.

Spammers back!!! Just added a couple of letters to their login name.

same one as wednesday comes out of whats left of yugoslavia

FLAG EM IF YOU GOT EM

Leaky, how much are the crawfish running now that Lent is over? Are they good sized?

And I notice a certain Mr Doty acts like the comment boards are his to police and allow folks to post as only he sees fit. I’d consider trying your own advice Mr. D. If you don’t like the comments, simply don’t read them.

Good morning, everybody! I slept late this morning ‘cause it’s my day off. Half of you probably won’t be around to even see my post today. Oh Well.

VistaBill - I used to read DT every day. But I got bored with it 2 or 3 years ago and haven’t read it since. But I still enjoy Annie after all these years (decades).

Montana - You really should see it. The ‘56 version is the best, nominated for 4 Academy Awards. Or go to the bublic library and check out the novel.

I don’t think Connie did this - somebody else hired by the two spinsters wanted the shamus gone, and these two probably want Connie out of the way also. Probably the two biddies themselves have traveled down Mexico way - to make certain their plans are accomplished, and Connie knows she is next.

MisngNOLA………..The crawfish are running around 2.59 a lb.

Trust me when I tell you “Rouses” boils the best crawfish you EVER, EVER put in you mouth. :-)))

And yes they are running fairly big. :-))

WW………Once again your on top of your game. :-))

I’m wondering how the 2 spinsters would even know about the private eye? Unless I missed something in the strip.

Think there is another ingredient in this recipe.

No doubt it was those old crones that did it. They have money and the resources to travel anywhere on the planet!

Imagine, 33 posts on the Annie board. Things are looking up.

This strip is interestingly written. Maeder has his readers on their toes.

As the man who wrote the Official Dick Tracy Biography, Jay Maeder should be writing Dick Tracy

Regarding that unexpected death, I’m sure no one here believes little Connie did it !

margueritem, you sure have me puzzled. One day “Leaky” is a niece, then she/he (?) became a nephew, now he/she’s back as a niece (?)

How do you all do it ? And my, how loquasious she/he has become these past three weeks ;-)

My PC picked up a bug and what with 3rd world service, I was off the boards for five days.

Sydney……….it depends on whom I am being loquacious WITH…………with others I would rather be taciturn. :-))

Whew! I’m lucky I guess. Here I was worried about coming here and being too yappy or too silent. Thank goodness all I have to worry about is being loquacious & taciturn. This just might work. :^)

lol@Lonewolf……………….as long as we dont get pedantic

Anyway Wolf, Sydney is much more at home when he is castigating Locher………………whew, enough pedantism for me for a lifetime!!! ;-))

Dear Sydney, we missed you. Glad to read that you weren’t ill. Leaky was at first thought to be a girl, due to the Rhoda and Roseann pictures. It turns out that Leaky is male. He is my ‘niece’ when he is playing the part of Rhoda. Did I confuse you further?

Morning, Anniephans!

Connie’s really in trouble now!
