Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 03, 2012

Morning fellow Cathy nuts…Irving has lost his mind!! He needs to pick a workout that doesn’t take up his whole day…leaves little time for a life, or a girlfriend.

Irving, if pressed, wouldn’t know what any of that means. We all know the real story of his ‘peeled’ abs . . . sunburn peeled maybe but that’s about it. I’m more impressed with Cathy. And what’s wrong with a bakery anyway? :-)

Morning Susan you doing okay? Morning lightenup who I’m sorta kinda maybe getting ready to think about. Hello fellow Cathyites and our reading friends. KFG I missed you on my “late night crew” goodnight because I’m a dope. Move over Irving, make room. Sorry sorry.

PT day. LMB is ready to be my weight belt. He stood on my chest this morning, waking me up, telling me to get it in gear. Man, tough taskmaster.

I was gonna say something about Cathy being like my mom but Mom would kick my butt . . . and like it so I’ll be a good boy. (Yeah, my mom does read the comics, usually from Aaron’s account because he has all her favorites.)

We should also get used to saying Hi to mollie05. Hi mollie05 we mean no disrespect by not ‘chatting’.

Off we go. Busy day ahead . . .

Gee, all that workout talk made me tired. Think I’ll take a nap when I get home from work!

One peek at himself in the mirror looking so sweaty and overweight in his swimsuit and all of a sudden, he goes absolutely nuts in the opposite direction! Has nobody in this comic strip ever heard of the word “moderation” when it comes to anything?!?!? Enjoy food, but don’t go overboard and eat everything in sight! Exercise to keep your weight down in order to avoid health problems but don’t let it become such an all-consuming obsession that there’s no time left in your life to actually enjoy your life!

Dr. Billy: You should get your mom to sign up here with her own account so that she can not only read “Cathy” but also join in on the fun! And don’t be too hard on Aaron. He can’t help it that he’s just so darn adorable! I’m afraid that it’s just a “curse” you’re all going to have to live with! (By the way, I think you’re pretty adorable too!) ;-)

lightenup & lightenupjr.: Hope everything’s going great in Maine!

Good afternoon, Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by), KFG, Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, Willi Nilli, mollie05, samfran60, soonergal, GreggW and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. Great to “see” you all! Is everyone managing to keep cool?

Mom! my Mom would love to have the time to read the comics, read the comments, and make comments. Maybe when she and Dad retire. She works with my Dad in his contracting business. Her comics reading time is just before bedtime — kinda to fend of the rest of the madness out in the real world. Some day though . . .

Happy July 4th to y’all! It’s gonna be a scorcher here in Texas but we’ll just have to ignore it. Be safe and have fun!

To each his or her own, I guess.

In a really weird way here (as usual), but still.

This comic is one in a million for the eye-rolls, ain’t it?

Hi to everyone A.M. & P.M..Hope everybody has a happy and safe 4th of july.Aaron that comment about LMB was so funny and cute ahhhh.Please everyone be very careful with the fireworks. : )
