Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 12, 2017

I couldn’t disagree, more, Cathy, and I’m a woman. Candy makes you gain weight (which you will obsess about). Flowers die. Jewelry is a stupid waste of good money.

The day after my husband & I spent our first Valentine’s Day (when we were dating) I went into work. We were kind of the “it” couple so a lot of the ladies surrounded me, especially since I looked so happy. They asked me what he gave me as a gift. I smiled & said, “Guess”. They guessed flowers, candy, jewelry, a car (!), vacation, etc. I kept shaking my head “no”. Finally, they couldn’t take it anymore! They gave up & asked “WHAT?” I put on a dreamy expression and sighed, “A semi-automatic .22 rifle with a nylon stock & a scope!” They left me alone after that. (Side note: I LOVED that rifle, as I’ve always been fascinated with firearms, and I STILL have it, 35 years later).

Well, at least she finally told him what she REALLY wants!

KTFAHEL, you have a lovely husband…..

With so many Sunday comics talking about Valentines Day, I wonder if anyone remembers today, Feb 12th is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.

Nice try, Irving, and well played, Cathy.

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

I’d happily take the TV!
