Another orphan Annie (a young victim of leukemia who was just recently adopted by two doctors) features in the Cleveland based comic strip "The Meaning of Lila".

I know this sounds off beat, but I have to wonder why the original guy who dew Annie chose to draw her with two holes in her head and NO EYEBALLS???

For the same reason Dagwood Bumstead had only one large button on the front of his shirt - saves time in drawing.

I said "dew Annie". Now I feel like a dork. I meant to say "Drew Annie"

The reason there were no pupils was the original Annie was based on the world being ran by Zombies and back then zombies had no pupils.

You mean even Annie herself was originally a zombie?

Yes, in the first week of the strip she kills and eats her parents that is why she was a zombie. The strip wasn't well received to they changed it up but the artist was angry and left the pupils out as a kind of 'up yours' to the comic cartel lead at that time by Max Gaines who was the father of Bill Gaines who started Mad Magazine.

I always thought that the musical did a disservice to the character. Annie was a fighter with grit and fight. The musical made her into a sappy Pollyanna.

I thought it was a great musical, I'd tear up every time she's sing about finding a family.....

OK, for an ending, that sucks almost as much as the last shot of "Quantum Leap."
