The Press: Annie's Daddy

(2 of 2)

What made Daddy Warbucks' fight for his good name newsworthy last week was the fact that Cartoonist Gray and his editors were receiving countless letters from excited readers throughout the land, asking if the strip was supposed to be a sympathetic portrayal of the case of Samuel Insull. Two facts made such a notion absurd: 1) neither Editor Patterson nor The Tribune is an Insull-lover; 2) Cartoonist Gray draws his strips ten weeks in advance, had Annie's Daddy on trial before Samuel Insull was even arrested.
