The website Trivia Genius published a list of the 12 longest running Sunday comic strips of all time. The source article https://www.triviagenius.com/the-longest-running-sunday-comic-strips/X078kW15UQAH9iFD While “Calvin and Hobbes, Cathy, Peanuts, Garfield, and Dilbert”, didn’t make the article’s list, they were mentioned in the introduction to the article. (I’ll add “Li’l Abner” and “Andy Capp”.) Several of these comic strips were turned into movies or movie serials and tv series. Staying with movies only. Which of these is your favorite movie based on a comic strip that ran 33 years or longer (using “Dilbert” and “Li’l Abner” as a benchmark)?
If you got a movie based on a comic strip that ran 33 years or longer, and preferably, still running, to replace any on this list that were not on the article’s list, name it here.

- RegistaWaltraud EhrhardtStelleAngela FischerRavi KarmalkerLotte Palfi Andor(1897 to 2006, 109 years) also known as “The Captain and the Kids” , “The Shenanigan Kids”, “Knoll og Tott” in (Denmark and Norway), and “Hans and Fritz”, mainly because when the comic’s creator, Rudolph Dirks, had a dispute with his publisher, William Randolph Hearst, he left and created almost identical copy of his own creation and called it “The Captain and The Kids”. Hearst still owned the original copyrights and had others still draw the comic strip at the same time. It was the first comic strip to use talk balloons. Many silent films were made and a 1989 film. But the IMDb doesn’t have pictures of any of them at the time this list was created. I want it to stay this way until the IMDb gets one and it will automatically change.

One day, Mrs. Stewart (a rich dowager) appears, wanting to adopt. The children a paraded before her. Hearing of her contrary nature, Annie makes sure that Mickey catches her attention by saying bad things about him, and by the end of the interview, Mrs. Stewart adopts him. In the orphanage, Annie misses Mickey, and although she's written four letters, Mickey has not responded (because he can't write). Meanwhile, in Mrs. Stewart's home, Mickey is happy, but appears to be angry with Annie, for having said the bad things about him in the adoption process.

Upon hearing them leave, Mickey quickly gets back into bed, Sandy goes into Mrs. Stewart's closet, and Annie is stuck in her room.

After a bit of rambunctious chasing, Mrs. Stewart confronts Annie asking her what she's doing in the house. Annie is ejected, but Mickey now doesn't want Annie to go. As he tries to call to her from his second floor window, Mickey falls out of the window to everyone's horror.
