Little Orphan Annie's portrait, hanging over a dozing Brewster.
Baby Scooter as Little Orphan Annie.
Little Orphan Annie is a comic strip character created by Harold Gray in 1924, and since adapted for radio, animation, film, television, and most notably, the 1977 Broadway musical Annie. Gray's trademark was the pupil-less eyes of his characters.
References
- In the July 27, 1963 issue of TV Guide, Billy and Sue appear. Billy has deliberately blanked out eyes, accompanied by the caption "Sue and Billy: He loves Little Orphan Annie" (the "blanked eyes" joke had previously been used by Walt Kelly in Pogo.)
- In The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, Annie's is one of several rotating portraits seen in a corner of the control room (along with Mona Lisa and Big Bird).
- The song "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie was performed on The Muppet Show and A Special Sesame Street Christmas.
- In the sixth season Muppet Babies episode "Comic Capers," Baby Fozzie manipulates Baby Scooter in a computer drawing program, at one point turning him into Annie.
- Baby Piggy imagines herself as Annie in "This Little Piggy Went to Hollywood" with Baby Rowlf as Sandy, singing a parody of "Tomorrow." Their eyes are blanked out, as in the original comic strip.
- In Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet, an allusion is made to "Lil' Orphaned Piggy" a Broadway play that Miss Piggy starred in, a spoof of the Annie musical.
