The five suns of the planet Galbatron will come out tomorrow

Forgive me for stealing a page from the Comics Curmudgeon, but I caught a glimpse of the comic "Annie" in The Daily News yesterday for the first time since, well, ever. What the hell is this?



From what I can tell, Annie -- nowhere to be seen, here -- has been transported to some sort of futuristic place where men in togas, both of the bearded and non-bearded varieties, have the technology to warp in giant space octopuses. What's more, the people actually have pupils! I eagerly look forward to the adventures of Vah-Lin-Tan the Roamer and his little phallic teleporter with the spinny Saturn-looking top over the next few weeks.

And could any line be greater than: "You and your doorways into other realms! Hmph! Nothing but trouble!"?

If "Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge" had followed this plot, it would have sucked a lot less.
