The thing about old strips is, there was some unwritten standard that they all had to be drawn in the same style. Sure, the more serious "adventure" strips were drawn realistically, but for the most part every single cartoon character had to be drawn in what I've termed the "redneck style," with stringy word balloons, broken English all over the place, and Hee-Haw-style nyuk-nyuk humor. It was some sort of law, like it's a law now that all Japanese cartoons have to look the same. My point is made better in this next one, which was below Annie:

"Just wait until Myrtle gets her old man out on the golf course someday!!" I don't get it. Many guffawing yokels, many uncomfortable ugly clothes, and many Dachsunds. For no reason they've got this bug named "Fanny Firefly" at the bottom, which is where I came closest to actually laughing.

Ho-leeeeeee cow. This was at the top of the other side of the sheet, and man, it's so bad that it's hilarious. This strip works better for me humor-wise than Myrtle the Croquet Whiz. I think it speaks for itself, so just click it to read it fully.

Her name is....Boots?? All right then. It gets worse. She named her daughter Pug. Pug seems to be somewhat of a tomboy, a rarity for Postwar America when the motto was "Conform or Die." You can almost hear Boots sigh Hank Hill-style and groan, "That girl ain't right." And when you're done with the cartoon, you can indulge in any lust for Boots you might have by dressing her up in different outfits. Or you could just leave her in the negligee. Hey, what kind of values were these?

So much for a final cartoon; they decided to run a 7-Up ad in its place. Do you want to have a Fresh-Up Family? Then Fresh Up with 7-Up! You like it...IT likes YOU!! Creepy, huh?

More coming whenever the other 6,000 sheets magically appear on my doorstep.
