Summary: Topical in many ways
Review: Harold Gray sure put Daddy and Annie through hard times during the Depression.Although Warbucks almost gets hold of something which could end all depressions,the capitalists and New Deal advocators ruin any chances of success.Learn how Warbucks and Annie met Punjab,discover another of Annie's animal friends(Pee Wee the elephant),and find out how unfair life can be sometimes to even the best of us. The endearing quality Annie has is that she never loses hope even when things are at their darkest- as they seem to be a couple of times in this book. Yet the dawns are glorius.

Summary: American Master
Review: While I totally disagree with 99% of Gray's political and moral views, I can't deny he is one of the finest cartoonists of the 20th century. More than anyone else he is able to capture a perfect mood, and suck the reader in. I have no idea how he does it, considering what appears to be limited drafting skills, but he works a magick on the reader that makes the story come grippingly to life. The dark shadows, somber atmosphere, and grim details make reading these stories an unforgettable experience. I am never disapointed with Annie, and I always feel like I have actually traveled to her world. Gray's magick is undeniable. You have to read it to believe it.
