One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for December 05, 2021

Dad to the rescue. Princess Ruthie.

I know that I could go look, but I don’t really care that much. Is Star Wars really old enough that a current child her age would consider it “Old-Timey” based on Frank’s probable age?

Princess Leia last appeared on film in 2017.

Is Ruthie wearing donuts in her hair….?

I’m guessing Ruthie got sick of generic Princess parties.

And she now counts as a Disney Princess…

Good choice, Dad!

I’ve never heard of the guests dressing up at a birthday party for kids.

I want to go to a monkey wrangler party!

Oh, yeah. Mulan? right?

These days all the title girls want to be Leia and Rey.

Don’t forget these are reruns. This is almost certainly before the Disney Star Wars Era

The newest, and best, Disney Princess.

Oh come on. Everybody knows Leia wears cinnamon rolls, not donuts!

Get her a sarong and have her go as Moana of Motonui; “daughter of a chief … that’s close enough.”

Ruthie likes dad’s solution.

My wife got a hug from Chewbacca on the 39th anniversary of seeing his first movie on her 21st birthday.

In “Nest Heads” ca 1999 Charlie was in a Sharper Image-type store and commented about feeling both hip about the tech and nostalgic about Dick Tracy. The clerk blinked, then replied, “Oh, yeah, that old 1990 movie with Warren Beatty!”

You could also be Wonder Woman.

I just noticed the donut in the next to the last panel… is that what he put on Ruthie’s ears???
