 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip)
comment
Little Orphan Annie is a comic strip created by Harold Gray in 1924. The original version ran through 1974 (with everything after Gray's death in 1968 done by other authors), then went into reruns for several years; Leonard Starr resurrected it in 1979 with the title simplified to Annie, following the success of the Broadway musical (see below).In the strip, plucky redheaded orphan Annie is taken in by self-made millionaire Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks, the world's richest bald person (until Jeff Bezos, we guess). Most of the starting plots were Annie and Daddy dealing with thieves trying to steal the Warbucks millions. Either that, or people who'd try to kidnap Annie and hold her for ransom so they can get their hands on the Warbucks millions.But since there's only so many ways of doing those kinds of plots, Annie would often be separated from her protector for months at a time, living on the streets again and bringing sunshine into the lives of struggling small-businessmen, honest laborers, and little old ladies with evil bank-managers.The strip spun off two films: one in 1932 by RKO Pictures, starring Mitzi Green as Annie, and the other in 1938 by Paramount, starring Ann Gillis. Both flopped big time at the box office.A radio show titled Little Orphan Annie also was spun off from the comic strip. From 1930 to 1943, children were able to join Annie's secret society and encouraged to drink their Ovaltine (even in their Secret Society Decoder Pins!). Shirley Bell did the voice of the popular orphan for most of the show's run, until Janice Gilbert took over the role in the last year or two of the radio shows run.In 1972, Martin Charnin bought the rights to the comic strip. With Thomas Meehan and Charles Strouse, he created the Broadway musical Annie in 1977. The musical has itself been adapted as a 1982 film, a 1999 TV movie, and a 2014 film.In 1995, Annie: A Royal Adventure!, a Made-for-TV Movie starring Ashley Johnson, aired on ABC. Also released in 1995 was a relatively little-known animated special entitled Little Orphan Annie's A Very Animated Christmas produced by Gaiam and distributed by Freemantle Media, which is by far the only animated adaptation apart from a 1990s Hanna-Barbera animated series that never took off the drawing board for whatever reason.The strip ended its 86-year run in June 2010. However, Dick Tracy ended up solving this cliffhanger!(When quoting the strip, we've changed the punctuation to conform with today's standards. In the original strip, there was no dot after the sentences. Instead, there was a hyphen between sentences. That doesn't look good on the web, so we're using standard punctuation here.)

comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Mr. Trance, who ruins what would have been Annie's big movie and break-through as an actress, is based on David O. Selznick, a director who Gray felt ruined the RKO Little Orphan Annie movie. And to be fair, it was Selznick who slashed the movie's budget. Claude Claptrap, the orator and rabble-rouser from the eonite arc, was based on George Norris, a senator who often worked with the Roosevelt administration.

 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_1439161f
comment
The comic strip ends with Annie, having survived being fed to sharks by drug dealers, being taken in by a war criminal on the run from The Hague. He tells her that her "new life" with him will consist of hiding from the authorities in a South American slum. Her beloved "Daddy" Warbucks meanwhile, has had a Heroic BSoD upon learning of Annie's apparent demise with it implied that he truly believes that she's dead. Ultimately subverted with the Fully Absorbed Finale in Dick Tracy, where Tracy reunites her with Warbucks (presumably for good).

Tempting Fate: One strip begins by showing us a man on a liner who complains that he's bored and that there's "no slightest spot of excitement." Then, the head of a sea serpent appears from out of the water. (It's actually Mr. Am's submarine, but the man doesn't know that.)

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Mr. Am tells Annie about how, millions of years ago, humans had to watch out for pterodactyls that wanted to eat them. And a lot of other things he says are factually inaccurate too, according to both the scientific knowledge of the time when it was published and today. This is justified — the entire point is that Mr. Am was around back then and knows the truth about what it was like, unlike modern science.

Comic-Book Time: Eighty years on, she's still little. And not in a Miniature Senior Citizens way either. To her credit, she seems to have made it into the late teen years. There is actually a canon explanation for this: Annie was born on leap year day, so she only ages one year for every four years that pass. Though that would still make her at least thirty.

comment
Diabolus ex Machina: Pretty much every story line ends with a sudden negative twist that prevents Annie from settling down to live happily ever after, and sets up the next arc: an old stand-by is that Annie is reunited with Warbucks after being kidnapped, but Warbucks loses all his money in the process. The next arc would then deal with him getting his fortune back. One of Harold Gray's mandates to his successors was that no storyline should ever end happily.

Blatant Lies: February 8, 1931, a robber tries to steal the jewelry Annie's wearing. She beats him to a pulp while chewing him out for picking on "a defenseless, helpless little girl." When Mrs. Yelp catches her husband Bert sleeping, she wakes him up and yells at him for not working like he should.

Manipulative Bastard: When Warbucks offers the Bleeks a Big Fancy House where they can raise Annie, they reply that something humbler would be much more fitting. Warbucks takes this as a sign that they're not just trying to take his money by claiming to be Annie's parents, which is of course exactly how they wanted him to react.

Downer Ending
 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: The comic strip ends with Annie, having survived being fed to sharks by drug dealers, being taken in by a war criminal on the run from The Hague. He tells her that her "new life" with him will consist of hiding from the authorities in a South American slum. Her beloved "Daddy" Warbucks meanwhile, has had a Heroic BSoD upon learning of Annie's apparent demise with it implied that he truly believes that she's dead. Ultimately subverted with the Fully Absorbed Finale in Dick Tracy, where Tracy reunites her with Warbucks (presumably for good). The eonite arc can't be said to end all that happily either, although it could have been worse.

 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_4eaa9b84

Author Tract: The strips are infamous for being a platform where Harold Gray expresses his libertarian Republican viewsnote So much so, in fact, that he killed Warbucks off after FDR's New Deal was a success, intending for it to be a real, permanent death, saying that a man like Warbucks couldn't live in a world like that. This was eventually downplayed in later adaptations and the post-Gray strips, however.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Whoo boy, where to start? "Daddy" Warbucks had a slightly pointier head, and was an old man with a big nose, once he did appear which didn't happen right away. Personality-wise, he was very uncouth but a really friendly guy. Annie was more innocent and naïve. Sandy wasn't even there to start with. And when he appeared, he looked like Snowy. Annie had a beloved doll named Emily Marie. Later on, she wasn't exactly the kind of girl who'd cherish a doll, though she didn't dislike them exactly. Annie had a second catchphrase: "Hot alligator!" She used it about as often as "Leapin' lizards!"

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Jack is prepared to give up a chance at true happiness in order to keep Rose Chance happy. When her husband, Ace Chance, shoots a man called "Bindle Al," it looks like Al is going to die from the gunshot wound, which will make Ace a murderer and most likely get him the chair. But since that would be bad for Rose, Jack gives blood to enable a transfusion that saves the life of "Bindle Al." This makes sure that Ace at least doesn't get the chair. And then, he pays for a lawyer and puts up the bond for Ace, so that Ace is released.

Meaningful Name: There are lots of them. Here are a few examples: Mr. Busard, that vulture of a lawyer. "Daddy" Warbucks, who's got bucks earned in the war. Mr. Futile, who considers effort pointless since you're sure to fail anyway. The stingy Mr. Pinchpenny. Miss Treat, who does that to all the children in the reformatory where she works. Chizzler, who cheats Annie and Dan of their earnings. Mr. Am has no other name than the word "Am." If you've read The Bible, you'll know of an immortal guy whose name is something along those lines.

 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: Warbucks uses a hidden camera to film Phil O. Bluster, Busard and their cronies when they're discussing their evil doings. Then, he presents this as evidence against them during their trial. This wouldn't really work in real life, (mostly because Warbucks would either have to admit that he filmed people secretly and without their permission, or present the movie as faked,) but later Warbucks admits that it won't work as evidence — the real purpose of the footage is to turn people against Bluster & co, which will increase the odds that they'll be convicted. In other words, this is a subversion.

Take That!
 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Gray was fond of them. One particularly interesting case is the several times that people who are cheating "Daddy" Warbucks sing "Happy Days Are Here Again," which was FDR's signature song from the 1932 election. It was a subtle jab at the New Deal. Gray absolutely hated the New Deal. Take note, reader: good people never sing that song in Little Orphan Annie. When we hear it, it's always somebody evil who's singing. In one strip, Annie's reading a letter to the editor in a newspaper. It's a complaint about how comic strips should stick to being funny. (There had been real-life complaints about how Little Oprhan Annie was too serious.) Annie comments that there's nothing wrong with a comic that doesn't just try to deliver another stale gag every day.

Cerebus Syndrome
 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_cfdb9e17
comment
Cerebus Syndrome: The strip got noticeably more serious after a while. Let's put it this way: in the March 4 strip 1925, Annie went to a store with Mrs. Silo. In the March 4 strip 1938, Shanghai Peg throws an an axe straight into a bandit's head. So yeah, things got darker. Other factors in the Cerebus Syndrome is the way characters started getting Killed Off for Real, Warbucks found himself bankrupted in the depression and unable to get a job, and overall the problems Annie faced got both more relatable and serious.

Anti-Villain
 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_d001c42c
comment
Anti-Villain: In late February, 1936, a robber seeing Annie walking along the road makes her get into his car. The reason he gives is that he wants to give her a ride, but it's really in order to use her as protection. If the police sees him they won't shoot at him if there's a risk of killing an innocent girl. He's impressed by the way Annie won't accept the stolen money he tries to give her, and says that he "could have been that way once, maybe... But it's too late now..." In the end, he tells her to leave him even though he knows that it will vastly increase the risk that the police kills him.

Hoist by His Own Petard: In the Sunday page for December 13, 1936, a couple of criminals called "Slugger" Jake and "Bomber" Mike have sent a mail bomb to kill Annie and her friend Ginger. When Annie sees the package she understands that there's a bomb inside. She throws it out the window, almost straight at Jake and Mike.

Denied Food as Punishment
 Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip) / int_d5b7a6e3
comment
Denied Food as Punishment: The first strip has an "excluded from the reward" variation, when all the orphans are getting ice cream except Annie because she didn't make her bed properly, so she gets to eat milk and mush in the kitchen. Mrs. Bottle, who Annie lived with and worked for for a while, sent Annie to her room without dinner once. "You're not worth your salt" is all the explanation she gives.

comment
Writer on Board: Gray had strong right-wing political and economic opinions that were frequently visible in the strip. To the point where Annie is happy to stay out of the government-sponsored orphanages and suffer on the streets, so she doesn't "sponge off taxpayer money". Somewhat ironically, the musical is something of a Homage to the New Deal-as-period-set-dressing.
