Getting into trouble once again Little Orphan Annie makes her radio debut in 1939.

On this day in 1924, the first “Little Orphan Annie” comic strip is published. The plot follows the wide-ranging adventures of Annie, her dog Sandy and her benefactor Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. “Little Orphan Annie” inspired a radio show in 1930, film adaptations by RKO in 1932 and Paramount in 1938 and a Broadway musical Annie in 1977 (which was adapted into a film of the same name three times, one in 1982, one in 1999 and another in 2014).
