Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for June 13, 2023

My grandmother used to make clothes for our dolls. There were pattern books for them.

I’m searching to see if BABBY doll was a line of toys or if babby is slang for baby.

It’s a play on Barbie and all her accessories

It’s called ‘feeding the fad.’

This was the exact day and year I was born!!!

No Vintage 1965 BABBY doll listed on eBay. You say it’s a Barbie knock-off, so that B.C. could not be sued? So could you sue Taylor Swift for her Dolls, they are clearly Barbie knock-offs.

I remember the outrageous prices of Barbie doll clothes back in the 60s and I doubt they’ve gotten any cheaper since. Such tiny things cost as much as clothes that would fit me.

“Babby”? Must be from Boston.

“Babby” or “Me bab”: English Midlands, specifically the Black Country (because of Industrialisation – smoke) for Baby, but also as a sign of affection or common courtesty – " ’ow am yer , bab?"
