Ah, so she knew too much.
I wonder what the jack-in-the-box did though.
He was a Charlie-in-the-Box.
A Victor Charlie?! Call in the nampalm!
Where’s the island of misfit ex-spouses? WHERE?!?!
This explains so much. I mean, most of ‘em seem like they could either be fixed or given to kids who don’t care if they get a bird that likes to swim, but the doll . . . she was too normal.
(from wikipedia)
“A Dolly for Sue (as she calls herself)” is a seemingly normal girl rag doll with red hair and a red gingham (checkered) dress. Her misfit problem is never explained on the special, but was revealed on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! news quiz show (broadcast December 8, 2007). The show revealed that Rudolph’s producer, Arthur Rankin Jr., says Dolly’s problem was psychological, caused from being abandoned by her mistress and suffering depression from feeling unloved.
not trying to dispute your strip, just wikied rudolph to jog my memory and thought I’d share the interesting info I found
Clearly that’s a typo. It should read “abandoned AS A mistress”.
Wasn’t that Misfit Toy Story 2?
Ces, where’s the strip you created that explained why the doll was on the island?
You mean the one from December 1 of last year?
@Tim, did Ces do one where the doll is really a crossdresser?
The “Jo-Ann Fabrics” reference is a nice touch and makes this work for me.
Oh, phew, it’s not a little girl! For a while I thought this was a pedophilia joke. But as long as it’s just an unholy living simulacra of a little girl, it’s OK.
