Tommorow! Tommorow! What a Hard Knock Life Bender will Have!
Annie meets The Most Dangerous Game.
Planet Express funds are so broke, Bender was hoboing and Hermes had to get his surgery from Zoidberg. A rich alien named Daddy Bigbucks is looking to adopt an orphan. While Leela was doing some volunteer work at the Orphaniarium that's being invaded by bugs, Bender shaves off Frys hair and disguises himself Little Orphan Android. Trouble and complications arise when Daddy Big bucks reveals that he adopts red head orphans to hunt for sport.
The subplot was subtle and superb as Fry tries to cope with being bald. And unwittingly insults bald people in hilarious ways one can imagine. Leela even tries to contribute to the cause by shaving her own hair to make a wig for Fry.
The best parts were Fry being glued to his bed, the bugs invading the Orphanarium, Bender running like a fugitive as he is being hunted. The butler shooting Daddy Bigbucks and Bender inherits everything. We got to see the orphans again, another Peanuts reference since issue 74 with Charlie Brown being in a support group for bald people. A must have for any collector.
Very exceptional parody of the movie Annie. It even had hints of 31st Century Fox and The Most Dangerous Game. Fry and Leela being bald reminded me of the ending to my fanfic, Public Access Omicron. Wished Amy could've been in it. Seems these comics lately take from the CC era episodes. Issue 75 was like Murder on The Planet Express, and now this one. Maybe a comic that's like Lethal Inspection, Silence of The Clamps, Thief of Baghead, or Six Million Dollar Mon will be next???
