Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 24, 2023

Dress up as one of Barbie’s dogs.

When I saw Ruth, I was thinking Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

There are a lot of women considerably older than Wanda out there channelling their “inner Barbie”.

Are these Chocolate Chip cookies, Wanda?

Leave her alone Zoe.

For just another little girl who wants to be Barbie, Zoe did her research.

That’s actually not a bad idea.

Hey, wait, Zoe may be onto something!

Aw, go as Ruth. Then the Wren kid can go as Baby Ruth.

One year, when I was a teenager, I was told that I was getting too old for trick or treating. In defiance, I dressed as a toddler, with ponytails, footie pajamas, and a stuffed animal. The next year I thought that they might be right, but wanted one more year, so I dressed as an old woman with a long, dark dress, shawl, and (empty frame) glasses, and borrowed my grandmother’s wig.

Had a young couple one year Trick-or-Treating with their toddler; all were dressed as dinosaurs with the little one in a rolling highchair with a spoon secured to his hand. Remembered the cartoon phrase “Not the Momma!” Cute.

Ruth Handler was 43 when she created Barbie. It might work

That’s a genuinely charming idea, Zoe!

This is my Barbie™ comment.

Wait! No one commenting “I guess Darryl thinks a Barbie costume will fit Wanda perfectly!”? What has happened to you all?

So when she was little, she was Baby Ruth

Zoe, set a new trend, go as Taylor Swift Barbie. You will have a jump on the crowd, because we all know that there will be a Taylor Swift Barbie soon along with a Travis Kelce Ken.

Rhea Perlman was fun as Ruth in the movie.

That’s a great idea, actually.

Barbarella?

The Golden mean for the Golden mommy.

Whats with the TM after barbie lmao

Ah come on Wanda, it’s Halloween, no body dresses age appropriate.

Wanda, everyone can be Barbie. Plus, seeing mother and daughter in matching costumes is very cute. Go with Zoe and have fun!

Barbie’s for all ages.

Only in property-obsessed America you’ll see even innocent comic strips featuring a toy’s name with the TM symbol. Stupid obsession.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
