Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for November 05, 2009

Her legs look like sausages.

Cathy take the stupid boots off and leave the store. You look ridiculous.

I could never where those boots. Is Cathy trying to become queen of shoes? I wouldn’t need boots are winter lined shoes where I work at pt my boss is cold blooded and so is the adminstrative assistant the heat would be on and the copy machine puts enough heat out I have enough trouble staying comfortable.

I’m beginning to see why some people are getting annoyed with this strip. Over the past three or four months, Cathy has spent more time shopping at the mall than she has at home, on the job, or, say, ANYWHERE ELSE.

Attention, Ms. Guisewite: People’s jobs and friendships do NOT cease to exist just because they get married. What happened to Andrea (raising tweens, the last time we saw her, FIVE YEARS AGO) and to Charlene, who was expecting her first child (OVER A YEAR AGO)? And do Cathy and Irving still, you know, WORK for a living?

If you’re getting bored with the strip, here’s a radical idea: Cathy and Irving have been married for almost five years now. How about finally having Cathy get pregnant? Just think of the new storylines this would open up: Cathy pregnant and hormonal for nine months, Irving adjusting to the shock of imminent fatherhood – and the Grandmother Wars that would ensue (I just wonder who’d be more over-the-top, Cathy’s mother or Irving’s mother?)

PLEASE, no more extended shopping trips!
