 Annie Fanny is the feature 's lead character . Like other young women in Playboy pictorials , Annie is beautiful , buxom , and often unclothed . She is sexually innocent , oblivious to the worldliness around her . Like her forebear Goodman Beaver , Annie was conceived as a modern Candide , above the story 's corruptions and temptations . Unlike Goodman , however , Annie is never shocked or offended ; she remains blithe . The authors of Icons of the American Comic Book say Annie " glides through a changing world with an untiring optimism " with a " good @-@ natured lack of desire " . She is insulated from the carnal nature of those around her , who explain the new rules of society to her each episode . Ruthie , Annie 's mother hen roommate , appears in the first episode and remains in the strip throughout its run . Wanda <unk> , Annie Fanny 's wild and shapely best friend , first appears in an episode @-@ 10 beauty contest as Miss Greenwich Village and is often seen at Annie 's side throughout the remainder of the series . Ralphie <unk> , Annie 's nerdy @-@ but @-@ hip do @-@ gooder boyfriend , has the look of Goodman Beaver ( with playwright Arthur Miller 's eyeglasses and pipe ) and the temperament of a straight @-@ laced , chastising prude . Solly Brass , Annie 's huckster agent , is based on actor Phil Silvers .
