On today's comic, I love how Pintsize uses his own perverted methods to actually try and assist someone without giving away that that's what he's really doing. (As has been evidenced before.)

We only started making them in the 2000s.
The phrases has been updated to "As phony as a three dollar bill".

Actually, we started making the current design in 1976. My father started collecting them then.

On second thought, never mind.
Perfectly Reasonable:
So May's butt is still khaki? How did her face get bleached? Was it the Noodle Incident?

I get the distinct feeling I'm missing some subtext or reference in what you are saying (which would be appropriate enough, given that you link to the Noodle Incident page). But in case this is a straight question and not a joke that goes way over my head:
I think she's referring to her face being the ONLY part of her skin that is still khaki. The butt would presumably be blue right now.
And her face didn't get bleached, when it was repaired, only this particular skin tone was available. I assume she wants her face to be blue again to match her body's general skin tone (can't blame her, I still get Uncanny Valley-ish vibes from the way she looks...).

Oh.
I guess I hadn't heard of them until the early 2000s (when I was in high school). I hadn't encountered any until 2012.
