It's easily the worst thing about the comic, and that's really saying something.

I can't help but feel like this is going to end with Popeye discovering that poor people are all lazy bums. Which initially seems unlikely, considering the Depression forced Blondie to give up being a flapper, but we're talking the same time period where Communists were the only thing keeping Daddy Warbucks from employing hardworking Americans everywhere.

(that's all hearsay I don't think i've ever read Blondie or Annie from this era, that's just how I've heard them described)

That egg storyline in "U.S. Acres" was later adapted into the show in season 4. It was told in a flashback after the gang receives a ton of letters asking about Sheldon.

I have to say that "an egg with feet" is simple but pretty drat good character design. Probably not an original idea of course.
