Gretchen Lilly calls in, and we talk about the famous Annie! I love what commenters are already saying about Little Orphan Annie: These episodes are for those people who enjoy harkening back to a much more nostalgic time. However, since I was a child, I squirmed whenever I saw orphan Annie cartoons in the newspaper. I just could not bear to see those boiled oyster like eyes without any eyeballs. Definitely horrible. And that is why when I listened to just one episode of orphan Annie today, I just wished that someone with some sense would have used some other photograph to advertise this radio program. Little Orphan Annie must have been one of the hardest-working marketers of the era! The way the promotional giveaways and trinket-sales are woven into the storylines gets pretty intense.
