Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 25, 2023

But would you let your little girl dress like that? Even for Halloween?

One of the reasons for Barbie’s popularity was that girls could dress Barbie in the kind of clothes their parents would not let them wear.

Barbie didn’t have any children because Ken came in a different box!!!

Does Barbie have a ski bunny getup? Just in case of a cold Halloween?

You’ll (might) be fine Wanda.

How is Zoe suppose to pull of Barbie anyhow? For starters, she’s too young to have the right… curves!

But nobody would recognize her as Ruth Handler.

And we are still left hanging on what Hammie wants to be and will Darryl also be drawn into the mix. And then there’s Wren – some moose in her hair and she can go as a Troll Doll.

A lovely mother-daughter costume for anyone, I would think, especially because Ruth named Barbie after her own daughter.

How does Darryl know this?

All these trademark symbols in the word balloons are becoming quite distracting.

“Barbie’s physical appearance was modeled on the German Bild Lilli doll, a risqué gag gift for men based upon a cartoon character featured in the West German newspaper Bild Zeitung. Since the doll’s inception its body has incited controversy.”

Focus on the positives.

I wish to remind y’all many years ago Hammie learned Barbie’s proportions were inhuman so toddler Hammie used her for a bulldozer.

Darryl has a point.

He knows her so well!

Oh, I’m tickled pink!

Is this a paid product placement? Why the unnecessary trademark symbols?

As if Darryl could have sat through less than two hours of being tongue-lashed, called down, abused and treated as redundant in a movie theatre of his own volition. Wanda probably would have liked the baby-doll-smashing scene, knowing her attitude.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
