Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 28, 2012
Transcript:
Man: Imagine yourself roaring away from the stress of the city! Imagine yourself tossing a canoe on top and heading for the mountains! Cathy: Imagine myself hauling fifteen bags of clothing back to the mall so I could make the first month's payment. Man: Perfect! She comes standard with 90 cubic feet of cargo space and an optional trailer hitch!

And then there’s payment 2 to 36, or 48, or 60, or 72. Then selling your soul. Nope, not a good choice Cathy. Two words — “Not interested.” Then they’ll ban you from the dealership.
Morning Susan probably sleeping at this hour. Morning lightenup almost time to rise and shine!
hi mom! Yeah, Billy and I have had that big ol’ brownie at Texas Roadhouse. We split it because he’d be too hyper from the sugar rush. And the fact that’s also huge!BillyJL over 12 years ago
Panel 3 made me snort my morning coffee up my nose. 15 bags, which I guess we’re supposed to assume are fairly newly acquired and returnable for cash vs. exchange. Do stores do that?
Susan yes Aaron does sleep; badly. Mom will make sure he settles down and naps later. Like any good Mom, she knows when he’s having a bad night. In addition to 5:00 a.m., he was also awake after 3:00 a.m. I woke around then too. There was a disturbance in The Force. He must have had a nightmare. :-(
Morning lightenup and family. Hello Cathyites. Hi Mom! Re: Aaron’s pic of the headless kid the other night, I made a promise not to use his head as a soccer ball. I guess I need to show more restraint in my promises. :-D

I think I’m glad I don’t have to make these decisions!
Getting ready now to greet my OH – after seven and a half days of talking to the cats instead of him. Well, no – actually I talk to the cats anyway. But he’s been away and out of phone contact, so it’ll be nice to hear his voice again.
You see, A and B – these separations do come to an end, eventually. Mind you, when he finds out what I’ve spent in his absence . . . the next one might be longer!
;-)No, not really. I haven’t bought a car.

Back safe, and not entirely rusted over.

If Cathy knew she was going to be car shopping, then why did she go to the mall and buy 15 bags worth of new clothes??? Most sensible people know they need to save every penny they can for such a large purchase because of everything that goes along with it . . . such as, YES . . . monthly car payments!!!!! I would like to say that Cathy’s one-of-a-kind right now but I’d be willing to bet on it that there are a whole lot more people like her out there than any of us here know about![sigh and an eye roll!!!!!]
You 2 are just so cute and funny! You really know how to make me smile!!!!! ;-)

Oy. Our Cathy is really one in a million, isn’t she?
I guess that’s a good thing, since she provides some good laughs … and even better eye-rolls.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend.

I had to come back to this one before I get into bed to read.
Panel 1: Yeah, Billy and I have done that, usually to the shore. Panel 2: Likewise, while in NH along the CT River. Panel 3: I don’t think we have 15 bags of clothes between us, but it depends on what Cathy’s version of a shopping bag is.
Goodnight hendelca and lindz.coop. Hi to serenasakitty and to kittycatpawsare wrapping up the evening.
Okay LMB . . . D O N E ! [enter] So funny.

Hi Cathyites!! I would have been long gone by now — do I really want to know that I can “toss” a canoe on the top of my car?! But then I would never have gone into an SUV dealership to begin with.
Aaron’s nights sound like mine — especially right now when I’m studying for the SW licensing exam. Can’t wait til Monday nite when my summer can start — whether I pass the monster or not. If the comics are renewed the next time I’m awake at 4:00 am, I’ll send you a note Aaron.
