Annie by Jay Maeder and Alan Kupperberg for April 30, 2010

Good Morning Marg, VistaBill, Lonewolf, LordDogmore and all you soc……I mean , night owls. :-))

Uh Oh……..This must be how Annie gets involved.

Uhoh, Annie is about to meet Jr……

Good morning everyone! Your avatar is very appropriate, leaky! Maybe we should all have matching avatars!

Are you Senor or Johnny, LS?

Uh, just how “ASLEEP” is papa???

Like permanently asleep???

Thank You VistaBill

No, I don’t think Jr. has offed him yet….

Put a chain on Junior. Please.

Good morning VB and LS! I just love being a sock puppet, don’t you?

Just call me Senor Wences………….S’AWRIGHT

Can we at least taser him?

A whole new world!

We should all change to the same avatar…..LMAO

I like that idea, Leaky!

Good morning to you, good morning to you Good morning fellow denizens, of this here zoo If a sock puppet I must be Lamb Chop is the one for me So soft, cuddly and cute as a bug Everyone would be giving me a hug And if I had to choose one that was different It would have to be Cecil the sea sick sea serpent

And now we turn to the story It may be about to become quite gory A chance meeting over a little ice cream Will Annie or Lenny be the one to scream This poor befuddled childlike man Who has caused the …. to hit the fan His father lays on him a guilt trip Thus causing him to lose his grip What dark and dirty secret can it be That daddy did have to go and flee Another death is still to come That a papa, done in by his son. Thank VB, LS, Mg.

yes…………papa is asleep……………..

Chocolate ice cream!

Good mornin’ fellow sockeeeeee’s..

Sock it to ‘em, sock it to ‘em…..

Another good one WW!

Go get some ice cream!

Good Morning Marg, VistaBill, Leaky, LordDogmore, WW and all!

Good one once again, WW!

Don’t take chances. Be sure to take your knife with you, you may meet a Police woman walking a dog (?)

I hope Annie is careful and doesn’t talk to strangers.

Worst case scenario - Annie meets Leo at the Ice Cream Truck.

Best case scenario - Junior meets Leo at the Ice Cream Truck.

(If y’all don’t know what I’m talking about, read today’s Scary Gary.)

I fear the worst.

\\//_

there appears to be an imminent three way convergence …. great artwork…..good story going….. loved Slampyak’s stuff for years…

what a concept–commenting on the cartoon, not the commenters …… not as much fun, though

Interesting idea, Doubloon. If he didn’t do it though, who do you think did?

GM Fellow puppets :-))

When I saw the avatars the same, I almost spit out my orange juice………..y’all are too funny.

WW you are scary good

ML’s is in color! Maybe she should be the leader of the pack! (lead puppet)!

I beleive “It’s good to be the Queen”…………….

Ooopppsss…..the Queen of France lost her head! I’d rather not be the queen!

Actually, the only reason I had mine in color, is I couldn’t find a JPEG version of the picture, and it wouldn’t upload.

LOL…

Leaky< Bill & Marg: Love the avatar!

TY JanCinVV :-))

Ah look, my homage to Winken, Blinken and Nod was censured!

I must be getting close to the sock puppet secret.

Again, Junior is too sympathetic. He may think he did it, but didnt’.

I took a vote among myself and although ML’s avatar is in color, leaky had the first example of this avatar so I/we think they should be co-leaders of the sock puppets. All in favor, say aye…

aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.

Is this the way I/we’re seen by the opposition?

JanCinVV…….great avatar :-))

Sorry, Nighthawks - looks like you and I are among the few who actually read the comics.

I’m wondering where this whole storyline with Junior and Papa will go, and if it’ll tie in - anywhere - with Connie’s involvement with the scam in New York.

My only problem with a continuing story comic strip is that when one has as many elements going at once (like Annie), it just can’t move fast enough.

Didn’t one president (I think it was FDR) actually contact Annie’s creator Harold Gray and ask what was going to happen next?

I know how he felt!

I doubt if it was FDR. Gray had no respect for him as President.

Morning, Anniephans!

Trouble ahead for sure!

Uh oh!
