Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 10, 2015

I think your post-cookie sugar level is causing you to be irrational, Cathy, or else you’d realize that your shoe addiction and shopping habits are clearly causing your financial ruin. So lay off the poor guy. He’s all that’s keeping you from an IRS audit.

Hello Cathy clan! Happy Friday!Love, love, LOVE the Cookie Monster gifs yesterday, GretchensMom!! Thank you for making me laugh!

Oh, Cathy, Cathy – the fact that your constant dieting seems so much less effective than his has nothing to do with your financial troubles!

Sorry Cathy, you have to take responsibility for your own actions!

TGIF Cathy clan! Lots of homework to do! Enjoy your weekends!

Cathy is obviously not mature enough for marriage.

Sadly, nothing has really changed in the last 11 years since this was originally published. If anything, it’s gotten much, much worse since then. Seems like very few people these days are willing to take personal responsibility for the train wreck that their lives have become (whether it’s drinking, smoking, gambling, drug abuse, over-eating, over-spending, or some other reckless behavior), choosing instead to blame all their unfortunate lifestyle choices on someone — anyone — else rather than squarely where it all really belongs: and that’s on themselves. {sigh}

lightenup, rgcviper & QuietStorm27: I’m glad you enjoyed the Cookie Monster pix I posted yesterday. I love being able to do really fun things like that every once in a while! :-)

Hello and Happy Friday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today! :-)

AACK. That is all.

HI, MOM. Happy Friday, Clan.
