Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for September 23, 2012
Transcript:
For the woman with the long neck, long torso, long arms and long legs, the classic baggy-cut tweed suit. Cathy: Not me. For the woman with zero body fat, the fuchsia mini-dress with motorcycle boots. Cathy: Not me. For the woman with flawless abs, the low-cut jean, lace tank and plaid jacket. Cathy: Not me. For the woman with buns of steel, the equestrian pants, boots and cropped jacket. Cathy: Not me. For the woman with confidence, tone, attitude, $3600.00 of "silly spending money" and an invitation to a Tuesday afternoon gallery opening, the chiffon peasant top with red leather skirt, bare legs and ankle-high 'stiletto cowboy boots. Cathy (out of frame): Not me. Now more than ever, fashion celebrates the individual... Cathy: Who is she and why is the whole mall devoted to her??

Looks like she’s wearing a version of Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt! Run Cathy, run!

That puffy shirt has got to go. It makes her look like a barmaid wench. It’s easy to tell how Cathy Guisewite thinks about herself (fat) based on these comics, isn’t it??

It’s more fun when Sales Lady plays dress-up doll with Cathy. That way Cathy can deflect a bit of the looniness.
Afternoon / evening guys. All is well?

Well, all those styles are certainly … interesting.
Where is everyone? Hope you’re off having a nice Sunday.

The fourth outfit (mostly red with the plaid skirt) is the only one that I would consider wearing (although it’s a lot of red). I don’t think this mythical woman exists anywhere except for on the runway.And “$3600 of silly spending money”?? Wow, that’s ridiculous!!Hello, mollie, gmforde, Susan, Wolf Emperor, Billy and rgcviper!Hi to those who will come later… GsMom, KFG, Aaron, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie, AnonaMona, Bronzepony, simpsonfan2, tegm, legaleagle, Shyygirl27, catsarge10, BJIllistrated, ncalifgirl58, Molly mcgee, Teresa, mar mar in MI and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!I have a big neighborhood meeting in 1 1/2 hours. Going to finally vote on the bylaw changes. So glad this is almost over… it has caused so much stress in my life to the point where I don’t like several of my neighbors anymore based on their actions. Sad…

Poor Cathy. With the exception of sweats and a couple outfits for work, the world of fashion is so elusive. I feel your pain Cathy. Well, not really.
Hi Sunday folks. :-D

She seems to have a waist in the last pic, though, which isn’t always the case! If she can still go in and out in all the right places, things could be worse.

Checking in one last time for the night. My little buddy is sound asleep in my lap and I’m close behind. G’nite lindz.coop, hendelca, kittycatpawsare, and night owls.

I agree Susan — she looks a lot fatter in this strip than any of the others I’ve seen.

Hi other Cathyites!! “She” does not exist. I love the look in panel 3 — too funny. I can’t imagine that CG thinks of herself as “fat” — I’ve met her and she is really quite petite.
