My favorite part of the original Little Orphan Annie comic strip (from 1924), is when Annie is getting bullied by a snobby rich boy, so Annie punches him…
Random Karen: You can’t let your daughter fight!
Daddy Warbucks: You’re right! I can’t let my baby girl fight like that! I need to teach her proper form!
Random Karen: Wait no—
Daddy Warbucks: *Proceeds to teach Annie how to box*
