Newlyweds Cathy and Irving navigate the treacherous waters of couple-hood. From pampered pets to prying parents, they’ve got a lot to learn! Wedding or not, it’s still all about Cathy - she personifies the young career woman and her typical daily obstacles. Ice cream, panic attacks, stress and love are all in a day’s work. We read, we identify, we laugh. Who could ask for more?
Cathy is the Everywoman. She deals with diets, self-esteem, in-laws, and letting her husband know that she is the boss. Everyone can identify with her shopping, bills, taxes, planning for the future and coping with her husband’s incessant computer golf games. Whether you are a newlywed, single, or have been married for decades, all will enjoy the daily predicaments of Cathy and Irving.

This is the story of my life taking forever to get out of the house because of hair and makeup mostly!! Now you men can understand why it is a major production to go anywhere!!

So, this is why women are never ready to go out at the same time that men are. Mystery solved at last!

…and I’m sure she’s going to cry at the wedding or will tear her hair and has to redo it all again!
Good Morning mollie, AnonaMona, Dr. KFG, Susan, Aaron, Dr. Billy, Gretchen’s Mom and any other Cathy fan around. I’m back from vacation and happy to “see” you all!

She’d better hope it doesn’t get windy or rain. (eyeroll)

Of course, Cathy has to complicate things, but she just needs to put her hair into a pretty up-do with a lovely floral clip to go with the outdoorsy formal look. And you do have AC turned on, I would hope, Cathy. And don’t worry about being wrinkled because as soon as you get in the car, it’ll get wrinkled anyway. Sigh…
Good morning, mollie, legaleagle and summerdog!
WELCOME BACK, Bronzepony!! Tell us how your trip was! Would love to hear all about it. :-)

I predict that after all of this pre-wedding trauma, Cathy will get to the wedding and realize that no one is paying her a bit of attention. Cathy, Alex is not going to glance at you and see how amazing you are and push his fiancee into the swimming pool and sock Irving and sweep you up a’la Richard Gere / Debra Winger and carry you off on a galloping steed. So just relax and enjoy Irving’s company and the free food and drink. Good afternoon, Cathy Clan!

This just arrived in my email. Good idea for tonight’s dessert for Billy and friends after soccer.

Good line, Cathy (in panel 4). At least being self-aware is a first step to recovery. Not that she ever will.
Welcome back Bronzepony. Hi AnonaMona when you check in. Afternoon friends and family — hope all is well. :-D

Uh-oh, I’m like @mollie05 and can really relate to this one! I’m going to use Cathy’s last line on my husband and see if it works when we’re running late. I doubt it, but I can always try! Good afternoon, everyone!

Thanks Lightenup and Aaron! It was a farm holiday, showing the kids some cows and enjoying a nice landscape and really good kitchen. For my little one every animal was a doggie, but I coud read his face that in the end he had his doubts about it. He finally learned the word for bunnie and now uses it with enthusiasm. We chased a goat that got out of his fence, a great adventure for my daugther. Even more fun than campfire and night walk and swimming, which we also did (not in that sequence though).
Nice posting catsarge10, made me laugh. I like the swimming pool part!

Hello Lightenup! Busy day today. Hello to the rest of the Cathy nuts!
