It's historic nature notwithstanding, it's hard to sum up the essence of any dramatic comic strip in just one strip, but this one seems to do that quite nicely. The sun literally coming out is an especially nice touch.

Very nice original. I especially like the images of Annie's doll and first friend, Emily Marie. Even though the doll first appeared on November 5, 1924 and was in a number of strips before this one was published, just a little over a year later, I have never seen another original which shows her. Actually, the Mugar Library at Boston University has almost all the first year originals, which is why extremely few have ever turned up for sale.

Gray is among the early few that layed the foundation for all that came thereafter.
