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

Surely Papa’s not going back to get the camera, is he?

Good morning early birds!

Good morning, VB! You have to be head puppeteer again, until Leaky returns on Wednesday.

I cannot believe they’re going to leave us hanging on June 13th…

I doubt it, VistaBill, I just hope he won’t fotget Annie’s im the trunk in his paranoid state??It

t’s Floyd H, using my old nickname.

Where has everyone gone? Looking for a new strip already???

I hope I can hold up under the pressure!

Things seem to be a bit off schedule at the moment. I’m sure that when the time comes, an announcement will be made as to the new nightly meeting place…

I got to check out already. Got another long day tonorroe with another visut to anoyher MD. Be back in the A.M. for my daily comics fix. Night all & LOL.

Where this is going just is not right if they leave it up in the air!

GM, LS, Marg, MLady, VBill, LordD, WW, Floyd and everyone.

Good Morning Folks, I would have posted something Sock Puppet in natuure, but reality keeps interfering with my comics reading.

Why would Daddy even look in that place? Possible scenario:

Sandy goes and gets Daddy. Sandy tracks Annie to the cabin, DW coming along. DW sees the dead guy, finds the camera, sees the picture of the old man, recognizes him. DW figures out how the man would get out of the country.

Don’t know…too much time would have passed. The guy will make it to the boat unless his car breaks down.

Does anyone know how Ted pronounces his last name? Is it pronounced with two syllables (SLAM-pyak) or with three syllables (Slam-PY-ak)?

Sandy will come to the rescue, for sure. Just hope he gets there before June 13th!!!!

GM all you sock puppets………..it’s been lonely without our daily greetings.

Spent the day in Yellowstone yesterday, so I got to sleep in. What a lovely place it is!!!!

Good Morning one and all.

Fleeing his murderous past Papa is driving way to fast There is a danger he might crash Into a river with a great big splash In the back of the car, in the trunk Annie’s hopes have really sunk For Papa is now on the lam Because Annie thwarted his previous plan The camera and the son are left behind Clues for Daddy there to find Bad it looks for our dear little girl Caught in the clutches of this churl But luck will be with Annie in a trice And Papa will be the one to pay the price.

You can e-mai, phone, shout, but you might as well be talking to a wall! Once these corporations like Tribune Media make a decision, it’s final!

WATCH THIS SPACE ON JUNE 13 2010!!!!!! ACTION! MYSTERY! DRAMA! MURDER! and the DEATH OF A COMIC STRIP ICON!!!!!!

Good morning to my Western nrighbors, and to you Eastern insomniacs. Unofficially I think the pessimists out- number the optimists a bit, but none should give up hope until we know what’s to happen “on the net”.

Meanwhile, I hope trhere isn’tt a bunch of stuff back there with Annie to make her ride more uncomfortable.

Joe-Allen - Thanks for the correction. I edited my question to spell his name correctly. Like you, I’ve been pronoucing it in two syllables. By your reasoning, it would be SLAMP-yak.

We’ll reassemble soon and get going again.

“Spent the day in Yellowstone yesterday, so I got to sleep in. What a lovely place it is!!!!”

Wow! I’m envious, ML!

Once no paper is paying for this strip, what economical justification would there be for its continued production just for online viewers on free-access sites?

In plain English, who would pay Maeder and Slampyak to continue working on it?

I thought they got paid something. This site is not entirely free, and I’m sure all of the ads and pop-ups us non-payers see are bringing in some money. I doubt the syndicate would allow these things on line to make a profit for someone unless they were getting paid. That’s my logic, but I have no real data to back it up.

Junior’s not the only dimwit around.

Morning, Anniephans!

Not too bright, is he?

Panicked flight undoes many villains.
