One Big Happy (9/28/08)

While it’s true that all beauty is fleeting, you never expect it to be thrown in your face in such a vulgar way. Of course, the truly disturbing part of this strip is not the fact that Barbie has grown old (as the lucky among us eventually do) but her irrational attempt to fight the aging process through the use of blonde hair dye, gloppy mascara and excessive rouge. Nothing ages a person quite like the quixotic attempt to look young again.
