    Good morning™, all!

    Here’s what Annie was really waiting for: proof that she was actually born at some time! Apparently, this whole process was worth it to her after all.

    This makes the third or fourth time so far this story that Mike could have found a way to exit and save face.

    Doesn’t look like he’s going to take it.

    Don’t know how much longer we can take it.

    Good morning™, Crushed Mystiques !

    All these exposures on the little miss must be jarring to the hardcore faithful. She’ll be transparent and will have no more secrets or mystery after Mikey gets done with her. Annie has become a deflated husk of her former self. We have been woken from a sweet dream by the bucket of cold water of wakefullness.

    Shouldn’t it be “Leapin’ Lizzards”?

    Now she can prove citizenship and get her driver’s licence or a passport when she needs one.

    When will we return to proper DT stories? I never cared for LOA and I bet I’m not alone in this.

    Will we get the tease for the new villain tomorrow or Sunday?

    Please, please, please don’t let the next arc be looking for the Grays.

    I was about to say, “Anything would have to be better than this story.” And then I decided there could be a story with the Gumps. Although that still might be better. How about a strip featuring Little Annie Rooney? (A rip-off of Little Orphan Annie with better art and less interesting stories that ran for years.) I thought The Jackson Twins were pretty hot about the time I hit puberty. I’d rather see them brought into DT than Harold Teen.

    (GASP) It says she was born as ‘Perky Snorts,’ a My Little Pony, then tragically mutated in an encounter with a field of radioactive daffodils!

    Is the date of birth on it August 5, 1924? With the father listed as Harold Gray? :)

    Long ago, old Bob was introduced as someone who would ‘be important to Dick Tracy’, hardly a fair description considering Tracy’s idle bystander status throughout this story (but I suppose saying he’d ‘be important to Annie Warbucks’ instead would’ve been a spoiler).

    Stay tuned tomorrow, boys and girls, when Garage Guy pulls out a coded message from Annie’s parents that only Annie can decode with her special decoder ring. It reads, “Sorry, we were killed. Don’t come looking for us. Tough luck, kid.”

    With that birth certificate, Annie’s role as an “illegal immigrant” has come to end.

    The whole point of Gray’s strip was Annie’s status as a “stateless wanderer” always got her into trouble with “officious bureaucrats”.

    In 1944, a notorious forger gave her a fake birth certificate because she couldn’t enroll in school without one.

    Everybody realizes we’re getting this arc because 2024 is the 100th anniversary of the debut of Little Orphan Annie, and she doesn’t currently have her own strip to mark it, right?

    cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy

    Annie, frame that sucker quick. Wow! It has taken how many years for her to put this document in her possession? Unbelievable! Then she always moved around a lot like on television’s “The Fugitive”. You can’t have a forwarding address because you never know where you are going.

    Then Bob Smith hands over one more document. It’s a bill for services rendered, including past due charges from Harold and Winnie. Now that Annie has been demonstrated to be their offspring, she’s on the hook for the whole thing.

    Good. Now that Annie know the exact day and time of her birth, she will be able to calculate her ascendant and have a more reliable horoscope. Also, her middle name is Bruneilda.
