BTW, I have no plans to post part II of that story/episode; I’ve only included the published pages above for the sake of comparison with Kurtzman’s layouts.
If you’d like to read more, you really ought to consider purchasing the full-colour collection, Little Annie Fanny, Volume 2: 1970-1988 (ISBN-10: 1569715203; ISBN-13: 978-1569715208), which was published by Dark Horse in 2001 and is still available for purchase, new, at various online bookstores.

Over the next couple of days (if not sooner), I plan to post all of Aldren Watson’s illustrations from volume two of the 1948 Doubleday & Company edition of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Books, designed by Oscar Ogg. I bought my battered copy of the book a little less than a year ago at the annual book sale organized to benefit the Regina Symphony Orchestra.
