Don Markstein, curator of Toonopedia, notes that February 29 is also the birthday of Little Orphan Annie.
Superman…Captain Marvel…and Little Orphan Annie. What do these three folks have in common besides a tendency to never change their outfits?
Come to think of it, February 29 was almost my birthday. I was born in a leap year and due on that date. Two days later, when I hadn't shown up on schedule, the doctors went in and dragged me out.
This may explain why to this day, I never like being late for anything. Deep down, I'm afraid they're going to do that again.
