Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 09, 2009

No wonder!

Or getting my Blackberry to run GoComics….again!

Our obsession with gadgets must drive women crazy.

oi that’s Sexist! I am a thousand times worse for owning and obsessing about gadgets then my hubby is!! :-D

I drive HIM crazy lol

I’m really behind the times, I don’t own any of those things.

Gee, can’t imagine why nobody’s speaking to you. Rolls eyes

Huh. So if no one’s speaking to him, how come he needs communication devices?

@JTRaine:

“oi that’s Sexist! I am a thousand times worse for owning and obsessing about gadgets then my hubby is!!”

My comment was sexist?! I’m sure you meant that in jest.

It was a fairly innocent observation that many women have expressed to me.

(Are these women then sexist, too? Hmm, sexism towards one’s own gender. Something to ponder.)

I think that was the point of the strip as shown by Cathy’s look of incredulity.

He has the right idea. Why do men think women don’t like gadgets? I live like that all the time. I’d rather get gifts of gadgets and electronics than useless (diamond) jewelry.

Cathy seems to be ruled by gadgets of every sort as well, in every other strip.

Hey, if you get any useless (diamond) jewelry, I’ll trade you for gadgets!!! ;oD

One thing I have learned: jewelry appreciates in value, gadgets become obsolete. So give me a diamond rather than a blackberry (besides, I’m a certified computer tech and I’d rather choose my own computer stuff).

I’m all about the gadgets. They make DH run the other way, lol!
