Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for June 21, 2012

Sorry but you’ll have to call your own moms, this one’s taken.

I want in that line. What a great pair of shoulders.

Hi GretchensMom, lightenup, Aaron, Mollie…… Please see my comment at the end of yesterday’s Cathy.:>)

Maybe Mom can teach a class. Then people could eye roll en masse. So far I’ve successfully resisted the urge.

 

hi mom!

Morning Susan and happy birthday to you. Hopefully you see yesterday’s Cathy as well. Morning lightenup up again early this a.m.? Good morning Hobbes! Nice to finally see you in our playground. :-D

 

‘Nother 90+ day. The heat / humidity makes my new hip throb like a bass drum. :-( Billy, if you didn’t see last night’s late comments, is in Baltimore on a peer research expedition. Time for PT.

I agree with Aaron! While Cathy’s mom is telling her nice things to make her feel better, it sure isn’t going to help with her real problems. I’ll double your eyeroll, Aaron…Good morning, Aaron! And thanks for letting us know about Billy! I wondered if he was working late or something. Tell him hi from me!And how could I forget…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSAN!!Hello to GsMom, Billy, legaleagle, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

@ hendelca – Of course, we’ll wonder where you are! I still think about KFG, but I keep telling myself that she’s so busy with studying neurology that she has no time for comics, and she’ll be back one day.So, I hope you have a wonderful long weekend, drive carefully and have fun at the BBQ!

Thanks, lightenup. I like your name, because it’s always a good reminder to everyone here.

Whatever you have to believe in order to get you through the trying experience of buying this year’s bathing suit, Cathy! I don’t believe in sugar-coating such obvious lies like that but, hey! If it makes you feel better about yourself to believe all that nonsense your mother is spouting, then more power to you!

 

HI AARON & DR. BILLY!

Aaron: Hope your p.t. is going well and that Dr. Billy’s peer expedition in Baltimore is too! Tell him “Hello!” from his “Cathy” family! :-)

 

hendelca: We’ll miss you here but hope you have a good time! Safe travels to you and your family!

 

Hobbes: So good to see you here on our little corner of the Go Comics universe for the 2nd day in a row! Tell me we’re going to see your happy, smiling (avatar) face in our comments section every day because that would certainly be a real treat! In case you don’t know, we’re a small but extremely friendly and welcoming little family here . . . always courteous and respectful of each other (unlike some of the people who hang out in those other forums). We like to mercilessly rib our dear friend, “Cathy” sometimes but it’s all in good fun and never meant maliciously. I hope you’ll stop by to “see” us for a smile every day!

 

Good afternoon to the 4 of you, lightenup, lightenupjr., K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, Gator007, legaleagle48, Willi Nilli, mollie05, Molly mcgee, Violet, soonergal, AndiJ, J. Short and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, good to “see” you all!

A special thanks to Aaron, lightenup, Hobbes, hendelca and Molly mcgee for your support yesterday. It’s very much appreciated! I read a lot of things in some of those comic forums that I don’t like but I try not to “feed the trolls” because they really seem to get off on all the negativity their comments stir up. But there’s one that really bugs me because he just continuously beats a dead horse so much that I felt like I had no choice but to finally confront him and his negativity. I didn’t expect my words to change his attitude — and it didn’t — but at least I got everything off my chest that I had been wanting to say for a while now. I don’t want to dislike and have cross words with anyone because life’s too short for that kind of nonsense but unfortunately, not everyone seems to share my “Peace On Earth, Goodwill Towards Man” attitude. When that happens, I feel forced to lower myself to their level in order to let my feelings of frustration be known so that I can (hopefully!) move on from that frustration. It doesn’t always work (because some people are just that mean and rude) but thankfully, it usually does and life goes on.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSAN!

 

Signing in for my Mom to wish SUSAN NEWMAN a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!.She says HI to all Cathy fans, and misses everyone. She checks in on weekends, and left a message last Sunday nite, but is afraid no one read it because it was so late.

Everyone take care

Good afternoon fellow Cathy nuts, this strip brought a tear to my eyes as I was wishing my Mom was still alive and I could call her for support, although she tended to tell it like it was…no coddling !! Welcome to our newest posters , I enjoy everyone’s posts and A HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Susan

Hello to my Cathy family hope you are getting better and PT is going well Aaron.Billy gl hope your back soon hi LMB.Happy B-DAY Susan.Be good to see your Mom bacl Willi Nilli.Take care A.M. & P.M. friends. <3 : ) p.s. Hi Hobbes glad to have you here welcome

Hi Cathyites!! — I know what you mean mollie05. It would even be ok if she said the wrong things — just to have her back.

@lightenup

Me too — welcome Hobbes!!

@GretchensMom

I never saw the comment — I think it must have been removed by the time I got there. Glad you got to vent — I too am sick of trolls who just come on these sites to ruin everyone else’s fun.

Happy Birthday (sorry to be so late) Susan!!!!

Sorry you’re hurting Billy — new hips are quite contrary for awhile. You’re holding up really well!!

Hi lindz.coopGretchensMom’s comment is still there. See Calvin and Hobbes, June 20th, near the end (the longest comment).

Thanks, all, for your hospitality. It’s really nice to see a group that uses the GoComics site the way it was originally intended.

@lindz.coop: No, apparently several of his comments were flagged and deleted, including the long one. But it was just a repeat of many things that he’s said perhaps 30 or more times previously. On one level I feel sorry for the guy, because at times he can be very creative, but his obsession is squelching his creativity.
