Cathy: Did we use our vacation to learn what our expensive new camera can do like we vowed we would? ...NO! Did we even try the in-camera edit functions? NO! The night portrait function? NO! Image overlay function? NO! Continuous shooting function? NO! Manual shutter speed function? All we ever did was push one basic button to do one basic thing! The rest of this brilliant camera was completely wasted on us! They call us the "end users" because once a device gets to us, most of the using ends.

A little strange since the camera wasn’t even part of the vacation arc… I don’t remember this purchase.

A shame this strip “ends” in October. Sigh.

I find it rather hard to believe that Cathy is ending. Lately I’ve found the strip to be more frustrating then enjoyable, but now I’m getting a little sad at the thought of not opening up the comics and yelling at Cathy.
The grand finale should have Cathy kicking those no-good in-laws out to make room for a baby.

Yes!!!! A baby!
I don’t care if we are left hanging about how it grows up with irving and Cathy.
I can use my imagination!
Please, Cathy G., Leave us with Cathy at least being pregnant!
Pleas, please, please, please, please, P L E A S E!
And not least of all, Thank You!
I have read Cathy from the first strip on…

I’ve followed the strip for about 30 years-since I was 10! And I’m a str8 guy! I wonder how many people of my demographic read the strip…

How many people do exactly what Cathy and Irving did - buy some new gadget with all the bells and whistles, and then never learn anything but the basic functions? They would have been better off using their old camera and spending the money they saved on their vacation.

As usual, spot on. I too have a fancy camera, and I barely use the functions. Even though some of the story lines are reruns, I still enjoy this strip.

Cathy, Cathy, Cathy, what are you thinking? I have read and loved your strip since the beginning and now someone informs me that you are ending my love affair with this strip. I felt this way years ago when Donde (Mrs. McGowan) was discontinued. :( Where did everyone get this information? I knew nothing about it. It IS time for a baby ending..and time for the inlaws to go to a sr center……..but as a realtor, I loved that series; family involved in travel; loved that series; love the photography stuff many times over . So much plasure for so many years. What do you have planned for the future? Best of luck in whatever you do; you will be missed!!!

Gypsy – that was the whole point of the strip – which so many commenters seem to miss – this is all of us doing the dumb things we all do and finding the humor in it. Too bad we can’t laught at ourselves any longer – we seem to have lost that ability. There won’t be anything to replace her (CG’s) genius.

I thought the point of modern cameras is that 99% of the time you really don’t need to do anything other than point and click.
I bet it took better photos using its own intelligence than if C&I had twiddled with it.
