Little Orphan Annie/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Archive Panic]]: IDW have been publishing collections for a couple of years. So far, thirteen years of ''Little Orphan Annie'' have been collected.

* [[Fair for Its Day]]: Wun Wey, the clever Chinese man who is a friend of Warbucks, wouldn't be acceptable in our time with his secret planning, but in the thirties he was a very progressive and unusually non-racist portrayal of a Chinese-American individual, mainly because he was a Chinese good guy who wasn't an [[Ethnic Scrappy]]. It's noticeable that the Chinese people in the strip aren't universally good or bad; it varies from person to person. There's Wun Wey and his friends, they're good people who help Annie out. There's the Tong men who at one point are after Annie, horrible criminals. Like all other people, the Chinese in the strip are individuals, some of them good, some of them bad. In other words, Gray actually suggested that a person's value wasn't determined by their race.

* [[Magnum Opus]]: It's unquestionably Gray's greatest work.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: A robber who's kept Annie with him so that the police can't shoot at him because of the risk of hitting her decides to send her away.
