As written in the strip, Oliver Warbucks is an extremely heroic character. More a conservative than an objectivist or a libertarian, his sense of "noblesse oblige" is quite strong, with the firm belief that his wealth (which he lost and re-earned numerous times) was intended to serve all mankind. I actually do find the strip inspiring.

I sometimes wonder if Ayn Rand was a secret fan. The "Eonite" saga in the 1935 strips has striking parallels to the Rearden Metal subplot in "Atlas Shrugged."

Those who know of "Orphan Annie" only from the musical play are being deprived of a great piece of Americana.

Annie engaging in a typical well-deserved ass-kicking.
