Little Annie Fanny

rdfs:comment

Little Annie Fanny is a comics series by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder. It appeared in 107 two- to seven-page episodes in Playboy magazine from October 1962 to September 1988. Little Annie Fanny is a humorous satire of contemporary American society and its sexual mores. Annie Fanny, the title character, is a statuesque, buxom young blonde woman who innocently finds herself nude in every episode. The series is notable for its painted, luminous color artwork and for being the first full-scale, multi-page comics feature in a major American publication. __TOC__ As a streetwalker, Annie took advantage of current events of an erotic, sexual, or pornographic nature, being the first one on her block, for example, to streak, flash, and breastfeed in public. A motherless strumpet, she rented a neighbor's child as a prop in this latter enterprise. The fact that Annie was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman and the baby was African-American with dark hair and eyes did not concern the dirty old men whom she'd attracted by this stunt for the simple reason that only one of them remember ever having seen the baby, and, owing to the size of Annie’s bosom, he'd assumed that the infant had been merely "a mole or a beauty mark.”

Little Annie Fanny is a comics series by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder. It appeared in 107 two- to seven-page episodes in Playboy magazine from October 1962 to September 1988. Little Annie Fanny is a humorous satire of contemporary American society and its sexual mores. Annie Fanny, the title character, is a statuesque, buxom young blonde woman who innocently finds herself nude in every episode. The series is notable for its painted, luminous color artwork and for being the first full-scale, multi-page comics feature in a major American publication. Kurtzman, a cartoonist, created the series at the culmination of his career. He had launched Mad magazine, worked briefly for Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner and on a series of solo and collaborative projects, then returned to working for Hefner with Little Annie Fanny. Each episode of the comic strip was designed and written by Kurtzman and rendered in oil, tempera, and watercolor by Elder. Hefner edited each episode, often requiring detailed changes to ensure that the series remained true to the magazine's editorial style. Critical reaction was mixed, with most praising the elaborate, fully painted comic, but some dismissing it as falling short of Kurtzman's full potential. The complete series was first collected into two volumes in 2000 and 2001 by Dark Horse Comics. __TOC__ As a streetwalker, Annie took advantage of current events of an erotic, sexual, or pornographic nature, being the first one on her block, for example, to streak, flash, and breastfeed in public. A motherless strumpet, she rented a neighbor's child as a prop in this latter enterprise. The fact that Annie was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman and the baby was African-American with dark hair and eyes did not concern the dirty old men whom she'd attracted by this stunt for the simple reason that only one of them remember ever having seen the baby, and, owing to the size of Annie’s bosom, he'd assumed that the infant had been merely "a mole or a beauty mark.”
