Folks…The Cartoonist has completely outdone himself this time. Since she resurfaced last December at Darin’s birthday party, Ann’s looks have varied wildly, from 70-ish to late 30’s -ish and back and forth again. In today’s strip, she looks to be the same age as the crones from Crankshaft. Even her glasses and hair color are different.
It’s hard to get beyond Ann’s complete makeover, but also worth noting is Cayla’s condescending attitude regarding Ann’s (now blatantly advanced) age. Are the girls not supposed to “take to” a coach based on the fact that she’s about five times their age? And “Eight Track” for a nickname? That might fit a baby boomer (such as yours truly, whose 8-track collection was pretty impressive). The way TB has rendered Ann here, I’d dub her “Grammy-fone”!
Many, many thanks to those of you who have given generously in support of the snarkin’ good times here at SoSF! Your contributions have already been applied to hosting costs, and have given your humble, unemployed scribe one less thing to worry about. Today’s the last day of the fund drive…if you’re a fan and have a buck or two to spare, and haven’t done so already, please consider clicking the PayPal “Donate” button in the right hand column. Thanks again!
