Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 03, 2010

They must have a huge house to have all those boxes taking up so much space.

yes but what happens if something happens to your computer i thought i lost my Lego pictures when imeem shut do down till i realized i transferred them to flicker.

Those last 6 photos of the dog’s behind should be perfect. :-b

I definitely know these people. Take hundreds if not thousands of pictures (mostly of kids)– way more than we ever did with film cameras- and some of them scrapbook or have digital frames. The rest never look at any of the pictures they take. You know Cathy and Irving do not scrapbook.

Sad. If pictures aren’t sorted and the good ones taken apart, they are pretty pointless except as a way to separate you as the photographer from what is going on. No kid is going to come home from college and say “Mom, tonight let’s leaf through 50,000 baby pictures”

lightenup - they will be absolutely perfect. He can make a whole separate album for them. And title it “Self Portrait in Motion.”

Ditto, Susan001, if only she would .

but I still say, she just needs her dog…not his.

I liked this cartoon much bertter when Cathy was not married.

Ditto, baggybut; Cathy was the patron saint of single working women then, IMHO. But knowing how neurotic both her and Irving are, it’s really no suprise that they got married–who else would want to be their spouses?

I have one word for them: artcow.com . I am in the process of getting all the important pictures made into books. I’ve lost enough digital pictures to know to take hard copy precautions!

I like your thinking, mcveinot. I like to be able to put the pictures on the web, but will never trust that they will always be there. I still print pictures. ;)

Like I said yesterday, what the heck did they have to take pictures of? His obese parents melting into the couch? None of them do ANYTHING.

Panel 5, Cathy chases the lazy jerk around the house, beating him over the head repeatedly with the frying pan.

I can’t believe he told HER to do it. That look on her face says she’s finally ready to either kick him out, or light that match to HIM!

I keep hoping I’ll find time to get caught up on my scrapbook. It seems small children really enjoy flipping pages, but my kids aren’t smal anymore. Maybe I’ll have my kids’ scrapbooks done by the time they have kids. I bought my in-laws a digital frame for Christmas. Great way for them to see pictures of their grandkids, etc., and won’t take much time for me to update it each year. Grandpa is enough of a geek, that he can delete or add pictures, so I think they’ll really enjoy it.

I got a printer for Christmas. It prints small (2x3) pictures form your cell phone or your camera using no ink. You can peel the back off and put them on your fridge or wherever.

I shoot digital pictures of my motorcycle adventures, then select, crop, adjust, etc., on the computer, and then take the card down to the local Target to print ‘em on real photo paper, which I know will last at least twenty or thirty years without degrading (can’t say that about ink-jet or other color printers). Then I stick ‘em in albums with notes explaining the story. That way, visitors can read ‘em (or not); much better than inflicting a slide show (even a computerized one) on them… and when I’m old and senile and sitting in The Home, I can look at these albums and say, “what an interesting life that guy had… I’d like to meet him some time…”

When Cathy and Irving are old and senile and in The Home, she’ll be going through all her clothes and saying “what a thin and attractive person owned this stuff… I’d like to meet her some day…”
