Transcript:
Cathy: It's cute, but I need to try it on in my home mirror. Saleswoman: What's wrong with our mirror? Cathy: I don't know what it looks like in your mirror. Saleswoman: You're looking in our mirror! Cathy: I don't know how things look in your mirror compared to how they look in my home mirror!! Saleswoman: Only in women's wear is "sold" completely ambiguous.

Actually, Cathy has a point. I’ve often bought things that I thought looked great in the store, but when I got home and saw myself in the mirror at home, I’d immediately think, “What was I thinking?”

Perhaps it’s because of the room lighting. The store fitting room lighting is designed to create such “feeling good” mood to look at yourself wearing the outfit. While the home lighting doesn’t concern with such of thing.
Hello all, I’ve been a Cathy nuts since I was 15. My mom bought me an old copy of “Revelations from a 45-pound purse” from a secondhand bookseller. I can’t believe I found this comic strip! I’ve been searching the entire bookstores in town but can’t find any Cathy collections! :-( I wanted to buy online, but I don’t have credit card or Paypal thing.
However, I still can enjoy this daily comic strips. Nice to meet you all! :-)

Just think about how many of Cathy’s problems would be solved IF she decided to be a nudist…….

Stores are built to make us happy. When our brains are awash in dopamine everything looks good. Once we get home and the high wears out we see things different.

Ahh … our favorite little nut-job, back again.
Although, I kinda see the point about not liking something after bringing it home.
@lenteralunaWelcome! Hope you enjoy the “Cathy” comics and our community.
Hope you’re all having a nice weekend.

I don’t know why the saleslady is so annoyed. Who cares about the whole mirror thing anyhow?!? CHA-CHING!!! She just made yet another commission off of Cathy’s shopping addiction!
