I, for one, have never liked (Little Orphan) Annie’s more ‘modern’ hairstyle; I mean, if Nancy’s Aunt Fritzi can keep the same ‘do for 60+ years, why not Annie? Anyway, the current storyline in Annie’s strip has gotten stark raving weird. She’s out on a boat exploring the Bermuda Triangle with a believer and a skeptic who spend all their time yelling at each other. She sees a ‘lost squadron’ of planes fly over when nobody else does. Then she finds a weird door - in the boat - walks through it and - bam! - she’s on the Lost Continent of Atlantis, where she finds parallel characters to herself (with the old hair) and all her friends (Daddy Warbucks is Buk-War… and Mr. Am is Mr. Was) and then, suddenly, Atlantis is destroyed! But it isn’t! And Mr. Was starts explaining the Lost Continent’s rather odd relationship with time…

Recognize the song quote in the second panel? What are the current Annie artists smoking?!?

Okay, those webcomickers can be such a wily bunch. It turns out we didn’t have to wait long for DM-M’s new project, because that project is… Year 5 of ‘Irregular Webcomic’! Not funny, David.

Meanwhile at the lair of R.Stevens, I was wondering what he was going to do when the promotional stuff for the newspaper version of Diesel Sweeties referred to Maura as Clango’s girlfriend, when, followers of the web version know she is his/its ex-girlfriend and Clango’s current significent other is Pale Suzie. Either the paper Sweeties was going to follow a different storyline from the paperless, or Stevens would have to do what the comics biz calls a “reboot”. A “retcon”. A “forget everything you already know”. Well, it turns out he’s not rebooting the entire strip, he’s literally rebooting Clango! Using an old backup disk! Now that’s funny, R.

And Scary-Go-John Alison has finally let us see what the Vit-Rx Get Massive Potion has done to Amy, and, honestly, I expected more massiveness than she ended up with. The character should consider herself lucky she’s not in a comic authored by somebody who used to draw “She-Hulk”.
