The Story of Ruth Handler- the inventor of Barbie
#6
I worked on typesetting a book about Barbie in the 90s, and learned a lot of this, especially about Lilli.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild_Lilli_doll

Lilli was post-war, sassy, and ambitious, "a golddigger, exhibitionist, and floozy." The cartoon always consisted of a picture of Lilli talking, while dressed or undressed in a manner that showed her figure, usually to girlfriends, boyfriends, or her boss. To a policeman who told her that two-piece swimsuits are banned in the street: "Oh, and in your opinion, what part should I take off?" The last Lilli cartoon appeared on January 5, 1961.
