Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for July 17, 2020

Here’s some new words Bub can use to describe Hello Kitty: puerile, insipid, simplistic… anyone got more?

So, is this goodbye kitty?

Betty seems to be forgetful , She forgot her question to Bub. I to hope this is the end of kitty.

The simple design is partly there because little girls like to draw and this design is easy to reproduce. I’ve seen some increasingly simple cartoons for girls that are easy to copy.

So wait… Hello Kitty is a girl, only with whiskers, cat ears, and paws…?

I wonder if this Hello Kitty story arc is due to this podcast, which aired a few weeks ago:https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/return-of-the-yokai/The Hello Kitty content is an add-on at the end, at 28:09. Roman Mars and 99 Percent Invisible have many devoted fans.

Not bad for 46 yers old. That is very old for a cat or even a cash cow. But then again, Mickey and Minnie will be 92 this year.
