A four-panel comic. In the first three panels a woman and a man talk; the woman says she's not sure she wants Susie to have one of these toys because, looking at them, "they are way too adult." The final panel shows a hand holding up a boxed doll labeled "PRAGMATIC SALLY" — a blonde doll whose speech bubble reads: "When I remember the dreams of my youth, I do so sarcastically, as an emotional defense mechanism." Votey aftercomic: a woman asks, "Why do people have ennui when pumpkin spice lattes are available?"
