Every episode of Little Annie Fanny involves her getting into innocent situations where she ends up getting naked. She would often run into celebrities like the Beatles, Elvis, and Bob Dylan. The strip, in true Kurtzman fashion, would satirize the modern pop culture—clearly influencing future media like SNL and the Simpsons. Wanda hasn't been seen in the past couple of decades. But she's far from forgotten, by fans and foes alike. If Penthouse ever revives her, she'll have a ready-made audience as well as a ready-made chorus of detractors. Toward the end of the '70s, some fans seem to think Mullally's political stands became a bit too strident to remain funny. Apparently, Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione also grew tired of Wanda, because the magazine dropped her with its December, 1980 issue. 1981 began with a new feature, "Sweet Chastity", also illustrated by Embleton, but without Mullally. Chastity was scripted by the one writer absolutely certain to hold Guccione's interest — Guccione himself.

Throughout her adventures, Wanda was also assisted by her elite army of “butch-dikes”, the Puss International Force, or PIF, the commander of which was General German Grrrr. (A play on renowned feminist Germaine Greer; "German" was her forename, not her nationality; the precise number of R's in her last name tended to vary from one month to the next.)The December 1978 issue of Playboy mentioned a "worldwide search for the actress" who would "portray Little Annie Fanny in a live-action movie". [43] In 2000, Playboy TV approached Mainframe Entertainment to create a CGI animated television series based on Little Annie Fanny, but no series was ever produced. [44] The comic was about a voluptuous blonde woman who wasn't very bright and often went on misadventures that resulted in her being disrobed. The "Little Annie Fanny" series debuted in the October 1962 issue of Playboy magazine. The comic was a parody of the Playboy image itself, vaguely based on the "Little Orphan Annie" theme, with lots of topical references and pokes at popular culture. The strip was the first fully painted comic in American magazines, and was very time consuming to produce. Kurtzman continued the series until 1988- its 100th episode- when he retired it, stating that all of the possible story ideas for the character had been exhausted. Widmer, Ted (Summer 2010). "R.

A “resident egghead”, Homer Sapiens, and the Neanderthal-like “chief jailer” and master torturer J. Hoover Grud (a reference to FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover) provided the brains and muscle needed to support Wanda's many adventures. Although Grud looked like a caveman, he was a sensitive intellectual who expressed his aspirations only to himself, never to others. The preserved cadaver of her degenerate father was seated upon a throne under a green glass dome. On occasion, Wanda sought advice from him after establishing a psychic or spiritual link with the corpse. During his lifetime, Candyfloss, Wanda's paramour, was one of the many women whom Walter kept as a mistress. The source of his great fortune that Wanda later inherited was Grigori Rasputin, who in 1916 was attempting to lodge for safe keeping a large fortune in jewels in the Swiss bank that von Kreesus was working for. However, Rasputin's untimely death left the large hoard in von Kreesus' possession. Needless to say, the bank heard no more from Herr von Kreesus. He then proceeded to increase his fortune still further through various underhand dealings, with amongst others, Lenin, to whom von Kreesus lent a train fare when the communist leader was on his way to a 3 April 1917 important meeting.

Kurtzman's Mad held a mirror up to American society, exposing the hypocrisies and distortions of mass media with jazzy grace and elegance. He's our first post-modern humorist, laying the groundwork for such contemporary humor and satire as 'Saturday Night Live,' Monty Python and 'Naked Gun,'" said Art Spiegelman in a New York Times article written following Kurtzman’s death in 1993.
