Cathy CAME OUT? When the fuck did THAT happen? Jesus, no wonder she was having so much trouble landing a husband. I’ll bet that irritating mother of hers had a heart attack! No grandchildren for YOU, ya old bag…

This is a bad thing?

I occasionally get a chuckle out of it, but, in general I find it more a waste of page space than even Family Circus, (Since it wastes more page space…)
