Here's a character drawn for a future issue. It's all rather deceptive at first glance, too. In the 50's, just about every product used a cartoon character to sell it. Had annies been real, this would have provided employment, and such is the theme here. This annie (as yet unnamed) is seen here as the mascot for Princess Coffee television commercials. As the Princess of the Animal Kingdom, she sells coffee while dressed in a pink body suit and make-up to play an actual forest creature (the aesthetic of her on-air character actually owes most to the Caramel Bunny commercials of the 70's, but I think this image has a nice 50's look to it). Below one can see what she looks like out of costume.With the help of Dave Noe, her name shall be Candy Sweeth.
