Man: Here's your tax return for your review, Cathy. Cathy: Thank you. Review what? If I had any idea what any of it meant. I could have filled it out myself. How long do I have to spend on each page for him to think I'm actually comprehending something? Which area of the page should my eyes even be pointed toward?? I should ask a question, but what?...And then won't I have to pretend I understand the answer?? Now too much time has passed. Now he knows I'm an idiot...Now I can't even focus...I'm no longer sure what language this is written in...MY FACE IS GOING NUMB...NO QUESTIONS. NICE JOB. LOVELY WORK. LET ME OUT OF HERE BEFORE MY BRAIN EXPLODES! Man: Is there any other business in which the satisfied customer looks so miserable?

Actually, this sort of sib torture isn’t going on too much in homes today because of multiple TVs in those homes.

Geez Mr CPA you shoulda just bottom-lined it. “Here’s your refund, Cathy” or “You owe this amount, Cathy. Sign here.” I’m afraid if I do an eye roll, Australia will longer be ‘down under’.
Wow Sunday already. Guess it’s true about blinking and missing things. No lazy day ahead though. I’m due at the soup kitchen in an hour. Hi fellow Cathyites. Hope all is well.

To answer the accountant in the strip, I would say “a gynecologist”.And I’ll second (or third) your eyeroll, legaleagle48! I would be thrilled as soon as I got handed my completed tax return, but not Cathy… It was like she got handed a live grenade. And the panel after the last one shows the accountant pulling a gallon sized flask of hard liquor (labelled “Cathy tonic”) out of his drawer and starting the IV.Since I technically can’t say good morning now, HELLO to all of the Cathy nuts who show up today!! Always happy to see everyone! :-)

I’ll join in on the eye-rolls today. I also think the final form in the upper row would’ve been funnier as a “1040-AACK”, rather than “ICK” … although that’s just me.
I DO think the facial expressions are great today, though.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

Hi Cathyites!! As always, Cathy blows her brains out trying not to “look bad.” Skip it Cathy, the accountant doesn’t care — he doesn’t even know your name as soon as you sign it (and of course, pay him). One of the best parts of turning 50 for me was not worrying about “looking bad” anymore — works for me.

I graduated with honors in a tough major, and taxes still freak me out and make me feel like I have brain freeze. I like Cathy’s take on this. How many other times in your life do you have the possibility to get into serious trouble with the government because of a simple mistake?
