Cat's Cafe by Matt Tarpley for December 06, 2019

When in doubt, drink a coffee! -Penguin, probably.

I love the sign, and I love that Cat cries along with the little guy.

I tell my high school students that crying isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s your body trying to take care of itself.

I have become very fond of this strip in a very short period of time.

Squirrel, holding it in isn’t good, it eventually overflows the mask you keep it behind. I know from experience.

Another beautiful one, Matt.

Crying is the acceptance of a difficult emotional situation. When the going gets tough, the tough get manic; It’s not getting any better, so enjoy yourself.

I believe this comic is an actual social good – it gives support to such wonderful simple concepts.

Dang inferior, blurry computer screen!

Thanks. I just had another emotional meltdown. I was mocked for crying by my own mother in front of my siblings. It took me years to be able to cry without feeling guilt or fear. I just needed a hug from my own mom… or someone </3

Just don’t cry in the coffee.

{{{HUGS}}}

I’ve read some stuff about a thing known as “Childhood Emotional Neglect,” and I’m subscribed to get emails about it every week. This week, I got an article talking about how, if one is emotionally neglected as a child, one of the things that’s covertly taught (among many) is that crying is a weakness.

I thought I’d try linking it here in case anyone’s interested. …I also thought I’d try putting it in a reply to this comment, just in case GoComics decides to eat the comment up for having a URL. =D;;;

It’s inspiring but I want to know why they where crying

Crying is better together than alone crying

what’s the cat crying about?

thumbs up =3

you might not see it, but your friends got your back

Cat’s Cafe is the only comic that can make me cry, probably because of how close to home some of this stuff hits.
