I still have the stuffed toy dog I had when I was an infant. I’m 62…

Ah, I have tons of toys still. My Nancy doll did not survive.

To be fair, my great aunt had dolls until she died at 92. You're never too old for toys

50¢ in January '47 is about $7 today!

You fool, you could've given it to your daughter!

Planned obsolescence in the Cabbage Patch

Hmm - based on her age in this strip, I think Nancy would be about the same age as my grandma, meaning the last frame is... present day 😄

*41 years old, stares at toys from when he was a kid displayed nearby*

Nancy you don't need to call me out like that.

"...some Fiddy Cent in the background, some Fat Joe, some BALLIN'..."

50 cents in 1947 (strip date lower left of 3rd block) dollars is near $7.50 today. That’ll get you a pack of gum with doll pics.

My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
They all went to heaven in a little row-boat

And when you get old, there is a requirement that you wear Victorian era High button shoes.

I'd feel sillier being that old and still wearing a ribbon in your hair.

Imagine if she got an actual 50 Cent doll

vegrial.bsky.social•26 days ago

She could take it to the candy shop.

You can find those in da club.

Nancy comes face-to-face with mortality.

eljithebeet.bsky.social•26 days ago

The kind of comic that would absolutely still be made today except the punchline would be the opposite

inkblotq.bsky.social•26 days ago

You mean an old woman doll carrying child Nancy?

eljithebeet.bsky.social•26 days ago

You know what that’s better

The last image is present-day.
