Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 12, 1999

Sorry Wanda, but this time, you’re wrong. The Barbie doll was created by a woman, Ruth Handler, in 1959.

There was this scientific study once that showed that a Barbie would have to walk on all fours and has no space for a heart and lungs. Think about that. A snake has room for a heart and lungs. (Sometimes. Most snakes have one lung.)

even if that was made by a woman, it’s still bad especially if it’s a woman from the 1950s

A shame that they don’t hold ken dolls to the same standard. rawr

I don’t know why people fuss so much that a doll doesn’t look realistic. It’s a toy people, a plastic toy kids play with.

And Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.
