Wikipedia: “The new creators updated the strip’s settings and characters for a modern audience, giving Annie a new hairdo and jeans rather than her trademark dress.”
The guest character, Friday Foster, starred in her own strip from 1970 to 1974:

Woah, Nelly! What a wake-up call! Almost looked like an entirely new strip!
Fear abounds, though. Art may be superb, but Minit Mystery plots, not so much. We shall see!
To date, the Minit Mystery that hit-it-out-of-the-park was Donnie Pitchford!
Can Andy measure up?

At least this one is between stories instead of inserted in the story which was a mistake.
Also the artwork is a real eye catcher!

Remember Friday Foster as one the last adventure strips published in newspapers.

Good morning™, awesome guest artists !
I think I’m gonna love this Andy guy. :-) Clara has bought it. In that circle, she may have been a high priced “pro” girl.

Morning, Tracy Fans!
I always loved Andrew’s work on other comics, especially Annie. I wish I could see Andrew’s Annie again. GoComics doesn’t carry it.

Well this Minit Mystery is a scream so far!!!

Well that certainly was one way of starting out a new strip. Yeah the story sounds interesting too (giggles)

I think I’ll take a couple weeks off and enjoy the improved artwork. And ponder how it took four people to write this.

In 1975, Friday Foster also had her own movie with Pam Grier as Friday.

Sad to say, but in real life Francesca would be considered a plus sized model.

It’s great to see Friday Foster again! The relatively short-lived strip was a favorite of mine Back in the Day.
But what about poor Clara? Is she a victim of foul play?

I remember Friday Foster.
