Complete Little Orphan Annie Volume 1
Complete Little Orphan Annie Volume 1 | Harold Gray
12 posts | 1 to read
Volume One of The Complete Little Orphan Annie contains more than 1,000 daily comics in nine complete stories, from the very first strip in August 1924 through October 1927. In the pages of "Will Tomorrow Ever Come?" readers will discover how Annie escapes the orphanage and is ultimately adopted by "Daddy;" how she finds that loveable mutt Sandy and rescues him from being tortured; how she meets the Silos, who become recurring characters throughout the series; how she joins the circus and first encounters Pee Wee the elephant; and how, broke and alone, she hits the road on a succession of dangerous yet spiritually uplifting adventures. This volume also includes an index, and a biographical essay by Jeet Heer.-The Library of American Comics is the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with 14 Eisner Award nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become "the gold standard for archival comic strip reprints...The research and articles provide insight and context, and most importantly the glorious reproduction of the material has preserved these strips for those who knew them and offers a new gateway to adventure for those discovering them for the first time." - Scoop

1. Sometimes, the movie or TV show is actually better than the book.
2. Sweet, but I do love potato chips
3. Irene and Raymond, Alberta and Casper
4. Annie
5. London. No question.

Life update: Littens who have known me for a while know that, between my husband & my younger daughter, a good portion of my life is spent in community theatre. Last summer, y'all were so kind when Ashleigh was playing Annie. She got to reprise the role this summer, this time at a larger, more established theatre in Nashville. This girl loves nothing more than being on stage. So, my reading life has suffered recently, but for good reason. #mombrag

ScientistSam Wow, that's quite an accomplishment! 7y

And ... curtain. As I thought, #24in48 #readathon didn't work out terribly well for me this time around. I only managed 6 hours, mostly on audio, because it was closing weekend for "ANNIE". But I did win a challenge prize, so that was quite exciting! ? You all have been so gracious as I have proudly shared a very important non-bookish event for my 12yo.

mom2bugnbee @HeatherBookNerd And here's my Annie. 😉 7y
HeatherBookNerd Yea for theatre kids! (edited) 7y

Well, #Littens, we are coming down the home stretch -- three shows left in two days. I'm hoping to get some reading done for #24in48 since I won't be attending every show, but we will see. As always, thank you for putting up with my #mombrag posts. Ashleigh has had the time of her life, & her dad and I couldn't be more proud. #ANNIE #myAnnie

mom2bugnbee @Lynnsoprano Had to tag you in this, b/c I remember your earlier kind comments. Show was GREAT, Ashleigh exceeded our expectations. So proud. 7y
Lynnsoprano So glad it went well. It is a fun show. Love the picture 😍 7y

Y'all have been so supportive over the past few weeks. I'm up at 6am on a Saturday because tonight is my Ashleigh's first performance as Annie and I simply can't sleep from excitement! #myAnnie #theatremom

The best thing about Litsy is the community, & #Littens are always so indulgent of my #mombrag posts. If you're not a new follower, you know that my recent weeks have been full of rehearsals at the local community playhouse for my Ashleigh (in the classic red dress, joined by Warbucks & the other young lady playing Annie in the orphan outfit). Opening night is in 10 days & publicity photos were released today. So. Stinkin. Proud.

Pardon the lack of makeup, but I thought you guys could appreciate this one...local redhead unintentionally dresses up as Little Orphan Annie for Halloween 👻. (I threw on this dress for the first time since last winter & started laughing when I caught my reflection...it's 30-something Little Orphan Annie, you guys! 😂😂)

rubyslippersreads Where's Sandy? 😄 8y
GlitteryOtters @rubyslippersreads have you seen my Golden in my pics over on IG? He makes a pretty good Sandy, even if the ears aren't quite right. ? (to answer your question, he was snoring in my doorway when I took this pic, and as he is a naturally hyper one, I subscribe to the "let sleeping Goldens lie" theory) 8y

GlitteryOtters @melbeautyandbooks @bmsddk @Libby1 I need to take a second picture, this time with my orangey-red Golden Retriever who is my "Sandy" stand-in. ? If I can get him to hold still long enough for a decent selfie-with dog, I'll post it here. 8y
