For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 02, 2015

It’s all about individuality. Even for twins when they’re going to be dressed in matching outfits.

The joke in this ‘toon is supposed to be that, after Anne tells Lynn whose features the little girl has, she then says they want the baby to be ’an individual’. So, dressing her in pink makes her like everyone else, but telling someone how she physically resembles someone else DOESN’T?

Ok….

Isn’t she the baby with the extra fingers? No chance she won’t feel unique.

With all those different parts she sounds more like Frankenstein’s monster than a baby. :)

If she was a dog she would be a Mutt

From the moment a little girl is born she programmed thusly, “Oh look grammie got you a pink diaper ’cause all little girls like pink. And a pink blankie because all little girls loooooove pink. And a pink bottle and a pink potty chair and a pink dress for your Poopsie-Woopsie doll, because all little girls like pink and dollies.” Of course the few who resist the brainwashing and like blue or green and prefer other things to dollies are destroyed in the feeding frenzy of nastly little pink clad monsters as soon as they enter pre-school.

So Annie dresses her in safety orange.

I have always detested the color pink-glad it was not foisted on me.

When my son was born, he had my wife’s nose. Now he’s 16 and it looks a lot more like my nose. But looking at his baby pictures, it’s obvious he had the same “look” then he has now.

If the baby is suppose to have 6 digits they artist should pay more attention.

When my daughter was 5 months old, we took her to Disney World. She was dressed in pink, had a pink diaper bag and was riding in a pink stroller. When my wife was at the stroller, people would say “what beautiful baby, what is her name?” When I was pushing a pink stroller with a pink diaper bag holding a pink dressed baby, people would say “What a handsome boy, what is his name?”

My sister informed our niece that her baby daughter didn’t look good in pink. Niece’s response, “Everybody gave me cute little pink outfits at the shower, what do you expect me to do about it.”

Too bad they removed the extra fingers before school started. Christopher could have taken her for show-and-tell.

(Young) Lady in Red!

Don’t look now, but she has her Grannie’s teeth, give them back already.

Pink, an arbitrary color for females.

It used to be, back in the early part of the 20th Century, that pink was thought of as a boy’s color, since it’s basically just light red.

I thought that dressing them in pink or blue gave the audience a fighting chance at getting it right when we exclaim “What a cute little…”

Actually, prior to the World Wars long hair was fine on Everyone..During the wars, the US Army Shaved the heads of Every Recruit to get rid of Fleas and insisted that they Keep the hair short to prevent Re-infestation..People forgot Why, but continued to picture Short Hair as a Masculine Look..WW1 began it and WW2 made it more or less Permanent in the American Consciousness..

Good for Anne! No pink on little girls, please. Well, some pink as well as blue, and green and yellow and orange and red, and….
