Oddballs: The Feet You See

In the very first Oddballs (yes, there’s Issue #1, but I keep it in a vault for the time being), I had a feature called “Shoes for Women.” When my dear Mom (God rest her soul) found my Oddballs #1 among some stuff I left at her house, she read it and said this was her favorite feature:

And, of course, I got into MAD Magazine with another feature involving feet – specifically high heels:

I’m not a fan of high heels. I think they’re weird, expensive, and impractical. A woman can choose to wear them if she wants, but I can also choose to have my opinions.

Jessica and I recently watched “You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzva.” In it, the main character, a girl about to turn 13 (obviously) wants to wear high heels to go somewhere. Her mom and dad allow it but her mom says, “You’re going to hate them in two minutes,” which the girl does because they hurt and are impractical.
