Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 14, 2016

The look of horror on Irving’s face says it all!

Well, so far it’s a BIG zero for me this Valentine’s Day. All male household (5), and they hate V Day with a passion…..even though I always see that they receive a chocolate treat. I need my mommy to give me a nice, hollow chocolate heart in a box with a window in it, with my name written for free across the heart, that she bought at Woolworth’s. Yes, I do.

Love is a roller coaster.

Easy. One red rose. Little note attached:

“Happy first Valentine’s Day to my wife.”

Next year: TWO red roses. Little note:

“Happy second Valentine’s Day to my wife.”

Start off a personal traditional which will grow with every year that passes.

It also gives you time to save up for the 25th and the 50th . . . which your wife is going to love.

Love Anona Mouse‘s solution. Start small so the expectations are affordable. The real question is: What has Cathy planned for this Valentine’s day? Somewhere along the way this day has become somewhat female centric. After all, I like chocolates too! Happy Valentine’s Day to the Cathy Clan. Wherever you are, I hope you have a happy day.

I see storm clouds on the horizon for old Irv. . .

Took the words outta my keyboard, legaleagle …

And, a nice tradition, Anona Mouse … very thoughtful.

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

Wish I’d thought of it 48 years ago, though.

Bit late now!

In Mexico today is called Día del Amor y de la Amistad, Day of Love and Friendship, which I like because it includes everyone I care about, not just a romantic someone.

Yeah….top that Irving….and you have one day to do it :)
