Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for October 30, 2012

Amen Cathy! Bright Blessings for Samhain Night to all the Cathy-ologists and HUGPOUNCESZZZ! too!

So why isn’t the cream cheese colored orange? This is what happens when a cartoonist doesn’t draw the strip for color, and someone else adds it in much later. They must not have read it.

Bad Charlotte, tempting Cathy like that! If the Cathy strips were current she’d probably be thinking of buying 50 shades of Grey like a couple of the other strips.

Good morning frightenup, Aaron, Dr. Billy, legaleagle, GsMom, lindz.coop and the rest.

Argh, I just lost my comment, so here we go again…I don’t want food dye in my food, but Susan’s “pink” cream cheese with lox sounds yummy!Good morning, Veridian! Isn’t Samhain Night tomorrow night? But I’m no expert, just a Googler…Good morning, Susan! Good to know that you’re okay! I heard about that NYC hospital that had to evacuate bc their generator didn’t turn on until hours later. Poor sick people!Hi TSR! Good point, which leads me to some questions you might be able to answer… Who does the coloring on the comics? Do they do it for all comics? Do you (as a comic creator/artist) have to pay extra for it?(If you don’t know Scott Roberts and his comics, he and John do Maria’s Day (LOVE this one, can’t miss a day) and Working Daze here on Gocomics… Go check them out!)Good morning, Shyygirl!! My husband’s assistant sent all 3 of the 50 shades books home with him for me to read before our Paris trip. While it was nice of her to think of me and it was pretty funny, it was a little weird to be giving to your boss… :-/Hello to everyone else!! I won’t do names today because my post is already long enough, but I hope everyone has a nice calm day after Sandy!

This one really hits home. I need to really cut back on carbohydrates and I get myself all motivated and then a co-worker comes in with something so yummy looking, I immediately lose all my willpower! :-( Hope all you East Coast Cathy fans are safe from the storm!

Hi frightenup! That IS weird! About as weird as my aunt who raised me to offer me her copy. Can’t bring myself to pick it up.

Good Morning to all and I hope the weather gets out of here so we can get back to normal once again. Aaron andDr. Billy hope everything is okay where you are now!! Prayers to all who had a bad experience from Sandy. Orange cream cheese doesn’t even tempt me at all. This is going to be a weird Halloween this year, so cold and rainy!!

Orange-colored cream cheese without any orange flavoring doesn’t sound very interesting to me (as I’m not a cream cheese lover) but the Pillsbury Orange Sweet Rolls actually DO have orange-flavored icing and they’re absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!

Good evening, lightenup, lightenupjr., lil’lightenup, Dr. K.F.G. (wherever you are!), Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, mollie05, Anona Mouse, catsarge10, millie p, soonergal, Bronzepony, Molly mcgee, Shyygirl27, Violet Bay, AndiJ, BJIllistrated, ncalifgirl58, summerdog, Terri, ruizuno1, Wolf Emperor, FinnyGirl, ellisaana, marmar in MI, J. Short, samfran60, SplendensPluviaNemus, PhoebeDog and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here tonight. As always, it’s really great to “see” you all and if you’re new here . . . WELCOME TO CATHY’S NUTHOUSE!!!!! GLAD YOU’RE JOINING IN ON ALL THE FUN!!!!! ;-)

I kinda like this one… nothing wrong with being a little silly now and again. :)

Good afternoon SUSAN NEWMAN, Shyygirl27, frightenup, GretchensMom, scaredycatsarge10, Veridian, mollie05 and everyone who comes here!

Also, thank you SUSAN NEWMAN for the info on the history of Manhattan!

Well, so much for self-restraint. Cue the … yep—you guessed it … [eye-roll].

Missing you, Aaron and Billy. Let us know you’re OK when you have the chance.

Happy Night Before Halloween, Cathy Clan.

Hi Cathyites!! I too hope everyone is safe — not just on the East coast either — we had really high winds in Michigan and lost power for 10 hours. Of course, the generator had to refuse to fire up too, so it got mighty cold last night. We now have a new generator and we are looking at a whole house generator for future (since we all now have to provide our own electricity from time to time — unheard of when I was a child).

I could go for the orange chream cheese if it was really orange flavored, but not just food coloring.
