17″ Vinyl Basil St. John from the Brenda Starr Reporter Collection. The doll, which is wearing the “Tally Ho” outfit, was offered through the Effanbee Doll Company and came with the following information: ” Basil and Brenda eventually wed and have a baby girl named Starr Twinkle St. John. They will divorce but later become friends. The characters are from a 1940’s comic strip by Dale Messick for the Chicago Tribute.”I purchased the doll in 2005 from the Doll Market.
