Little Annie Rooney
''Little Annie Rooney'' is a comic strip about a young orphaned girl who traveled about with her dog, Zero.

Publication history The strip's creators over the years included Ed Verdier (1927–29), Ben Batsford (1929-30), Sunday strips by Nicholas Afonsky (1934–43), writer Brandon Walsh (1930–54) and Darrell McClure (1930–66).
