Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for October 18, 2010

I wish people would get over the idea that scrawny is healthy!

People just like the easy way out. The problem is that we have such bad examples in the media, but the answer is not to go to the opposite extreme and accept unhealthy obesity. Since when did vegetables and fruits become “difficult”?

Were there 17 billion people in the ’80s? What happened to the other 11 billion?

I like the new ‘Cathy’ strip! you can see the characters better because they’re drawn larger. So, who has taken over the strip now?

Judging by the hands, it must be Dick Lochner

the best way to generate comments to a comment is to say something really stupid

Nighthawks, this is Classic AKA “old” Cathy. The author has retired, they are rerunning old strips. I wanted to cry when I found out it was over!

Well… (pulls out a calculator), if the strips have rewound back to Oct 5, 1999, then that means Ms. G can enjoy a nice 11 year retirement before getting back to work on a new strip…

New strip including a pregnant Cathy starting Oct 5, 2021…

How’s that sound? :D

Sounds great, she will be then making jokes about the new iPhone107!

FerLefer–Doug Dean’s point was that there are less than 7 billion human beings on Earth today, so there could not have been 17 billion in the 80’s.

I’m on a perpetual diet these days because the old metabolism that once quickly burned off all the unneeded calories isn’t what it used to be!
