davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

One cool photo of one cool lady! Do you like the comics?

I like the comics. The artwork is weird, cool, and funny. But I LOVE the Emily the Strange novels by Rob Reger and Jessica Gruner.

Emily!

I've always loved the look of the Emily doll. She's so simplistic and yet so filled with character.

This is definitely one of the most interesting, and flat-out cool, dolls or figures in my collection.

I had one of the W.I.T.C.H. McDonald’s figures once upon a time. Not really sure what happened to her if I’m honest.

Somehow I had never even heard of the W.I.T.C.H. series. It must have been fairly popular to warrant a line of Happy Meal toys.

I'm not familiar with the character although I've heard of her.  Your photo captures quite a serious -- and possibly trouble-brewing? -- mood.

The history of Emily the Strange, who started out as a figure on a sticker for a skateboarding apparel company, is quite interesting. Among the interesting points are the not so subtle "similarities" between Emily and the character Rosamond from the Nate the Great series of kids' books.

Just a couple of weeks ago I read one of the Emily the Strange novels, Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger, by Rob Reger (creator of the Emily character) and Jessica Gruner, which is one of a four book series. I'd read another volume from the series a couple of years ago. I do not exaggerate when I say that I had to set the book aside numerous times because I was laughing so hard. It was just so weird and absurd and stupid and arcane and hilarious I couldn't stop laughing. The Emily the Strange novels, or at least the two I've read, are among the funniest things I've ever read in my life!
