Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 12, 2014

Your CPA just doesn’t Understand, does he, Cathy?! ;)

You in jeans looks like the wives of my fellow Naval Officers. Classy but ready to have fun. I felt left out when they met my friends in Hong Kong.

Why did you have that stupid hat on in Tom’s and your video. Your best feature is your face, even at 63. Even as skinny as you were in 11th grade, your face is what I remember the most.

You shouldn’t have bought that tooth whitening system, Cathy, because sometimes you need to keep your mouth (and wallet) shut! ;-) (I’m kidding… love our crazy Cathy!)Good morning, Cathy clan!

That same tooth whitening by a professional will run you about $200 and up, now.

I wasn’t trying to be mean about being too skinny. I used to listen to Karen Carpenter when I was off the coast of Vietnam. Her voice brought sanity in a crazy world. I cannot understand why such a beautiful person would starve themselves to death.Remember, you are beautiful. Quite looking for perfection, Miss Picky. Look at all the people who love this strip and you.BC

Miss Sunshine and Mr Grump on vacation. Her birthday, we are going train to Victoria BC to see the gardens. She deserves it, having to live with a grump.

Well, here we go again . . . !!!!!

Hi, rgcviper!

Hello and Happy Saturday, fellow “Cathy” clan. Hope your day has been as warm, sunny and beautiful as mine has been [and it’s about time, too]!!!!! ;-)

My son is an artist. His two friends work in the comic industry in LA. My son says it is a back breaking art that demands perfection. I could image jumping from a back breaking ad executive to a cartoonist was a gamble. But knowing the high school girl I knew, you just put your back into it and drove yourself almost to dust. My son says you were putting out four to eight pieces of art a day plus create snappy script to go with it. Day and night. Seven days a week. Moreover, you create a library of books on top of it. You had no life.Your last book of your mother, published in 2014, was a labor of love.BUT you have to back off.There are great things to do that lift the soul. You were an English major from University of Michigan. Don’t you remember what you wanted to do in the first place?Be a butterfly that soars into the heavensHaving the being to be a part of the miracle of Life;I once saw a living daisy in the water next to the dockThe daisy was struggling to show its beauty, its love, to the world. Happiness, Cathy.

“Cabbage print sarong”? Now THERE’S an interesting mental image …

Guess this one would justify the traditional [eye-roll], too.

HI, MOM. Love the “face desk” pic … thanks for sharing.

Hello, “Cathy” Clan.
