| Little Orphan Annie did not sing "The sun will come out tomorrow." She had no time to sing or hang out with the other orphans. She was too busy ducking bullets, dodging hit-and-run vehicles, and blowing up Nazi submarines! |

The Little Orphan Annie Story |
|
In 1924,
Harold Gray
created Little Orphan Annie for the Chicago Tribune. Gray's original
concept starred a boy named, Otto. (That's right, Little Orphan Otto!)
Thankfully, there were many strips featuring boys and none about a girl,
so Gray changed the protagonist's gender and name.
Comic strips in the 20's were very different from today's strips. Dailies were printed in a much larger format and often only one Sunday strip appeared on a newspaper page. Adventure strips ran stories for many months and sometimes for more than a year! [more] |
