    I’m stunned – when were (Dan) Slott, (Tom) Grummett and (Tom?) Palmer on the Spider-Man comic strip?

    Repeated exposures to the long-lived Mr. Am has likely led to an extended lifespan for members of the Annie cast!

    They at least had Pat do a cameo in last year’s flashback (involving Nero Wolfe)!

    I’m thinking that this flashback is taking place at whatever city Warbucks was operating out of at the time. I’m assuming that Warbucks pulled some strings to have Tracy (who Warbucks already knew under as-yet unrevealed circumstances) temporarily assigned to help protect him in that city. It has been established that Warbucks’ permanent home base is not Tracy’s City, and (from early LOA strips) that Warbucks’ city is also where the orphanage where Annie was.

    Some of the younger members of the audience may look at the Honeymooners having 39 episodes and think “Wow – that’s about 4 seasons on streaming.” LOL Actually, that’s what one entire season would typically look like for a network show like the Honeymooners, with only 13 episodes being rerun in the summer, or even being replaced by a summer-only show. Reruns were not highly regarded back then!

    Look backing at the June 14, 2022 strip, Smith saying “looks legal and important” sounds like unusual phrasing even for (presumably) retired lawyer.

    Questions about Sandy that have never been definitively answered: 1) What breed is he? The breed used in most of the Broadway and modern-day filmed adaptations is some type of terrier. 2) How old is Sandy? Well, in his first appearance (In January 1925, less than a year after the strip started) Sandy was just a puppy. A few months later, he reappeared fully grown! I used to look at what age Sandy could be today, and it seems after looking up the age in human years at calculatebuddy dot com compared to all of the several terrier breeds listed, that anywhere from 1 to 4 years old is reasonable, which would allow for consistency with a 10-13 age range for Annie over the years.

    Would Walt have said “nephew” or “son”?

    Just a minor point: Is “Annie” (usually a nickname) going to be the name on the birth certificate, or something like “Ann” or “Anne”?
