Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for June 05, 2012
Transcript:
Cathy: Throughout history, women have been gawked at, ogled, ridiculed and rejected because of our figures. We've spent our lives starving and sweating so we could find one of these horrid spandex torture chambers that wasn't completely humiliating!!...And you tried on one suit one time that made you feel a tiny bit plump?? Irving: "Tried on"?? Please! Men don't "try on"! I just grabbed my suit off the rack!

You’re supposed to shop in the men’s dept Irving. There legaleagle48, happy?
To the rest of this large family, thank you a million times for your hearts and words. I have Aaron’s laptop with me. He and Gabe are in the same room at Gabe’s request. I’ve helped them both read all the comments from yesterday. They’re both gonna be okay after a while, more from your great hearts than mine by far. One of my worst nightmares come true.
I smuggled Little Muttley Beagle in inside my backpack. I gotta take him out of here before we get caught and thrown out. The guys insist I go to work so LMB and I will do just that. More tonight or tomorrow a.m.

Oh sure, Irving, and now you’re going to say “and I was only in the store 5 minutes!”. Well, look what it got you… a suit that you don’t like or feel comfortable in. I’m a fast shopper too, but then again I buy a lot of the same stuff so I know exactly what size I wear and how it fits me so I don’t need to browse very long.Thanks for the update, Billy. I’m glad they’re together for support and that they’re both stabilized. (At least it seems that way.) Poor guys, they have some work to do on their recovery, but they’re strong, tough guys and they’ll be doing the Riverdance in no time flat(ley)! (That was some funny bone therapy, my specialty ;-))I wish I could have seen you smuggle LMB in your backpack… how cute!Good morning, to Susan, Billy, Aaron and Gabe!Hello to GsMom, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

I am sorry to see Aaron got hurt. I hope he and Gabe get well soon. They were lucky to have the same room together. Thanks for the updates and keep them coming.

Well, Irving, if you couldn’t be bothered to try your swim trunks on before you bought them to make sure they fit right, felt comfortable and looked good on you, then you’ve got absolutely NO right to complain about them now . . . so MAN UP!!!!!!
Get well soon, Aaron, because it’s just not as much fun around here without you!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Billy: LOL at sneaking LMB into the hospital to see Aaron and Gabe! Good for you!!! I know how much Aaron (and you too) love that little guy and I’m sure that right now, no better medicine could be provided than that! I know that no matter how down I may feel at times about whatever, just looking into my little dog’s sweet face can lift my spirits like nothing else!!!!! Please give Aaron our best wishes from all his “Cathy” friends here and tell him that we’re looking forward to seeing him and his funny sense of humor here again as soon as he’s feeling up to it! B/t/w . . . any news yet on the hit-and-run driver who did this??? Please keep us updated on that front too whenever you hear something. Can’t wait until the cops catch and nail their sorry asses for what they did!!!!! Sorry. Still so very UPSET over what’s happened! :-(

I have been reading this comic strip and the comments from all the “Cathy” nuts for a little over a year now. I have come to enjoy reading your comments as much as I enjoy reading the strip. I was very sad to read about Aaron. I wish him and and Gabe a speedy recovery. I hope he can be back on this forum soon to give Cathy the usual, and much deserved, eye roll.

Hi Billy, Thank you for the update on our Aaron, and his bud Gabe. Tell Gabe that Aaron’s "Cathy Nut’s family consider him one of their own, and we all include him in all thoughts and prayers!.I think it’s a hoot that LMB went to visit. I know that brought a smile..I went back and found LMB’s picture, which brought a big awww from my daughter, and me!!
Well, again, good thoughts to Aaron and Gabe. Aaron, we miss your happy posts, and hope to “see” you soon!!

Lightenup, lightenupjr, SUSAN and watmiwori;I left y’all msgs eve of 6-3, but after yesterday’s news, didn’t have the heart to say much.
GretchensMom, when I went back looking for LMB’s picture, I read many of your and Aaron’s postings. Very sweet and special. I know how bad I feel, so I do know how you are hurting. Hang in there. A lot of people really care!!!.Have a good week all Cathyites, and not to forget the strip, Irving is a jerk.

Somehow, I can tell this is gonna be an eye-rolling kind of week. More than usual, that is …
Thanks for the continued updates, Billy. We miss you, Aaron, and look forward to your return when you’re feeling up to it. Hope you’re feeling better, too, Gabe. All of us from the “Cathy” board are behind you both 100%!

@Billy, Aaron & Gabe — Best wishes & Hugs to all of you!! Thanx for the update Billy — glad to hear they are together & on the mend. Also glad to hear that LMB was able to come to the rescue and provide some badly needed TLC for our wounded warriors. As for Irving — you grabbed the first suit off the rack and it looks it. Shows off your BWB (bay window bulge) nicely!
