Skipper dreams of going to the Valentine's Ball wearing on of Barbie's gowns! Yeah, it's like that when you can't afford all the newest Mattel fashions.


from "Funny Valentine!" in Barbie #28, script by Lisa Trusiani, pencils by Barb Rausch, inks by John Lucas, colors by Mike Worley, letters by Steve Dutro

Unfortunately the dress got switched at the cleaner's with Pennywise the Clown's laundry. And, apparently he didn't notice. Huh. Thanks, Barbie comics, for this enchantng visual image!


Skipper's dream date for the Valentine's Ball turns out to be...AIEEEEE IT'S THE CLOWN RUN EVERYONE


Special We Girls Can Do Anything™ Bonus Page: Barbie has an Etsy store now, apparently?


How does this make you feel about Valentines' Day now?
