Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for June 07, 2020
Transcript:
Saleswoman: In these tough economic times, it's important to keep a stiff upper lip. Also, to keep a stiff lower lip. Also, a stiff forehead, chin, jaw and cheek area. Also, a stiff little wrinkle-prone zone around the eyes. Because in times of crisis, the world counts on women to project an aura of calm that will ease fears and inspire hope. Our mother's generation had a natural serenity. We have "botox-ic assets".

Glad that the Sunday comic is still in color.

I wonder if, some day, they will try to explain these last few years as result of Botox poisoning of the wealthy and influential.

Is this an over-the-counter clerk? I thought all that stuff must be done by the medical profession?

Funny that botox was the first thing that came to mind before I ever got to the last panel.

I’m not a migraine sufferer so I have no intentions whatsoever of getting Botox treatments just for the hell of it in order to “freeze” a few little wrinkles here and there. But if I ever DID decide to do it, I certainly wouldn’t let a department store sales clerk be the one to give them to me — even if it were legal for them to do so (which it isn’t). An untrained, non-medical person putting an injection of botulism into my face? Absolutely positively NOT!

Hi, rgcviper! :-)

Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope you all had a really great weekend. Stay safe and healthy, everyone! :-)

I suspect the clerk here is the up-front person who sells you on the procedure. Then you get an appointment with a doctor for the actual treatment. After all, the procedure still needs to be sold and the doctor is probably too busy to do that part as well.
vaughnrl2003 – that is actually quite believable – better than any other reason I can think of for the mess we have seen over the past few years.
It is ‘wear a jacket’ cold outside today. A little sunshine now but nowhere near as warm as it has been. Ah well, good excuse to stay inside and not do any outside work. I hope everyone sees a little sunshine today.

since it looks like Cathy may be at a spa, it could just be the registration clerk

Twas beautiful 70 degrees and sunny here last 2 days. Cool breeze all day too…just the way I like it…90s coming on Tuesday tho. I never even thought of botox and I never heard of it for migraines, Mom…does it really work for that?
