Nicholas Afonsky - Original Comic Strip Art for Little Annie Rooney Sunday dated 9-8-35 (King Features Syndicate, 1935). This is the companion piece to the Ming Foo strip that is offered separately. Little Annie Rooney had a more than respectable run, from 1930-1966. Created to challenge the ultra-successful Little Orphan Annie, Annie Rooney had her faithful dog named Zero (Orphan Annie had Sandy), and her own catchphrase, "Gloriosky!" (Orphan Annie's was "Leapin' Lizards!"). One might carp that Little Annie Rooney never achieved the success of Little Orphan Annie, but a 36-year run is hard to criticize. Originally drawn by Ed Verdier, the strip was handed to Nicholas Afonsky in 1934, who handled the art chores until his death in 1943. This page, which measures approximately 21.5" x 14", features clean, attractive work, with very minor white-out, and would be a perfect compliment to the Ming Foo piece, also by Afonsky.
