While little Orphan Annie is one of the most time-honored of comics, it was NOT out in l877. No comic strips as we know them existed at that time. Sometimes I believe in the first decade of the Twentieth century- James Whitcomb Riley- who was a writer- not a cartoonist, coined a poem Little Orphaned Annie- some years later a cartoonist took up the challenge- and thus a popuilar comic strip ( more adventure than laugh-type comic) was born. It was only phased out less than a year ago.Up to a point her adoptive father, Daddy Oliver Warbucks ( a defense contractor!) is a sort of second-stage or reformed Scrooge. The notion that charitable deeds are fostered by guilt is thus maintained.
