revisiting an old comic strip




i cam across this collection of little orphan annie comic strips from the 30's. it tells the story of annie hitting the road while daddy warbucks is out of town. she ends up in cosmic city staying a kind family who is getting pestered by their evil landlord phenias p pinchpenny. what struck about this collection is how it served as a en example of what republicans a re supposed to stand for .. hard work, humiilty and family... annie starts a business and humiliates pinchpenny by being honest and pulling herself up by her bootstraps. how have conservatives fallen so far from their ideals. how have they become so morally abhorent? instead of fighting pinchpenny, these days conservatives would paint him as the victim.
