Sun sets on Little Orphan Annie comic strip

Post by MLP* on Tue Jun 15, 2010 4:20 am

"The Little Orphan Annie comic strip has appeared in US newspapers for the last time after 86 years in print.

Tribune Media Services, the company behind the syndicated strip, has pulled the plug on Annie, her dog Sandy, and wealthy benefactor Daddy Warbucks. "

This is rather sad. Mind you, I was personally more disappointed when The Sun unceremoniously ditched George & Lynne recently.

I don't, these days. I only bought it for the comics and they've ditched them all.
