"He" is dressed in ruffly pink. Rather odd for the Fifties.

That might be why "he" has that expression. Bubby's going to do some damage to whoever dressed him.

Ironically enough, not as odd as you might think. Pink shirts and ties for men weren't all that uncommon.

I think it's like a psychological outlet for a culture so determined to shoehorn people into rigid gender roles. Also, it could have been mild rebellion of a generation who had to serve in the military with the draft and going pink after years of olive drab. :)

Evil? EVIL? Heck yes...It's Victor Buono, ready to transform into King Tut (best Batman Villian ever!)

That's an awfully lacy and ruffly pink dress for a boy.

Little did they know, the baby had Scanner powers and little Billy's head exploded. No one still knows how it happened.
