Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for November 13, 2023

Wanda and Darryl still dress that way, today.

The 90’s weren’t bad.

Nice to see Hammie’s sense of self-preservation is keeping his big mouth shut.

I kept one suit and one sport coat and slacks from before I retired, but I gave away the rest of my work clothes.

Never liked this trope. Kids will call something from the past old sure but most don’t think 20 years ago is ancient.

As someone who went to school in the 1960’s I try to forget the ’90’s.

1990 was 33 years ago ! Oh my!

You’re technically a 90’s kid, Zoe

I went to junior high and high school in the 70’s. I remember once we had a 50’s day. Hard to believe at that point it was only 20 years ago. Now the 50’s seem very ancient.

Wait, DIDN’T THIS STRIP BEGIN IN 1990???

In the ’90’s I wore denim, now I wear cargo pants/shorts. Other than that, not much has changed.

1993 is as far away from today as 1963 was to 1993. If “It’s My Party (And I’ll Cry If I Want To)” sounded dated in a post grunge world, then 1993 is old timey.

ouch

Maybe Daryl still has a Soundgarden t-shirt he can lend Zoe.

Dress Zoe up gear from the 1890’s.

My daughter’s school had a “Decades” day where you could dress from any decade from the ‘60s to the ’90s. My daughter went for ’70s and wore a shirt that I actually wore at her age in the ’70s, along with an authentic “Smilie” button and a mood necklace that was my husband’s.

Feeling your age, Granny?

Go grunge, I guess? But then I suppose that’s Hammie’s typical mode anyway.

The 90’s aren’t really good for a dress up day. By then we had gotten into this “wear anything” mode we are still in today. They need to at least go back to the 70’s. There are plenty of re-run tv shows for them to get ideas from.

“Old-Timey”, “Vintage”, “Classic”, and “Antique” are all relative to a person’s age. I’m vintage.

Tie-die is coming back and I suffered through it once in the 60’s and so now cringe at it’s second coming. The person looks like they were in a paint fight. I did enjoy the extra large bell-bottom jeans and the ones with panel inserts.

Wanda meets the face of aging and realizes that she is responsible for that face.

Oh, I remember the 90s. Black denim was still cool.

Sweety that would be 3 decades ago.

You are a 90s strip so technically you’re still there

Other than Goth and Grunge the 90’s was kinda boring for clothing. Not like the 80’s big or spikey hair and BUM / IZOD / Parachute Pants and Cavariccis

I was born in the 1950s. It’s a bit disconcerting to go to a museum and see things you remember as a kid on display as historical artifacts, particularly if it’s something you owned. What’s worse is if it’s something that is now a collector’s item and worth a lot, not that I would sell it. I still have Popeye and Mighty Mouse figures.

Her excitement is building in her own special way.

I’m a 60 baby and grew up in mostly the 70’s. To me the 70’s were great! The 80’s and 90’s music changed so much and me raising babies in 86 and 91 it’s all a blurr. LOL

Funny though since Zoe should be older than the 90s by now.

All a matter of perspective……

That’s because the teachers were born after the ‘90s, and they think it’s old-timey.

Here’s a quick run down of American everyday national costume which has been copied wordwide:

Jeans and t-shirt or a sweatshirt is timeless attire. It was popular then and more than ever nowadays…

That everyday fashion started in the fifties…until then, the jeans and t-shirts were already there from the gold rush days, it’s just that the people wore old worn out dress shirts on top, until those pretend cowboy top shirts became popular, but they quickly were replaced by the sweatshirts in the later sixties and they are still with us today, but the hoodie was added…

The changes in jeans were from skinny to bell bottoms, to skinny and wide leg popular nowadays…plus the waist fit, to hip fit, to waist fit again…

I’m still wearing clothes from the 90’s.

This is how my mom’s generation felt when we wore poodle skirts and such on Halloween in the 70’s

1890’s or 1990’s?

My version of 90s Day was finding clothes from the 70s and 80s

From what I remember, fashion in the 90s was nothing special. But a lot of perfume was used. Way too much perfume.

Hey!!! I still wear clothes from the 90’s. Jeans haven’t changed much since then.

3 decades!

funny thing is the oldest daughter was a baby on the baby blues tv showing the 90s lol

Sorry Wanda, we’re old! (>_<) Technically any of us born in the 80s/early 90s are old enough to be grandparents. ?:-_]

Zoe your were born in 1990!
