mjah Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 There is a God. The rumors are true: Cathy Guisewite, the Emmy- and Reuben Award-winning creator of the acclaimed comic strip "Cathy," has decided to retire her feature as of October. "She's decided to end the comic on Oct. 3," Universal Press Syndicate executive John Glynn tells Comic Riffs. "She is deeply appreciative of all the relationships and all the fans, but after 34 years, she feels it is time to hang it up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Who actually read that piece of crap? How did it stay around so long? I'm pretty sure that male NFL football fans weren't her target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintHillSkinsFan Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 That's actually pretty impressive if you think about it. 34 years and not a single chuckle. What a piece of crap that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Kathy is the one comic that actually puts me in a BAD mood after I read it. Hopefully, she'll go out in a blaze of glory (gun fight with her boss). That would make up for the 30+ years of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 What a horrible, unfunny strip. I won't miss it a bit. I did find this amusing though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I like the line from 30 Rock this season. "It's like being in a long Cathy comic strip that just won't end....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It was one of those comic strips that no matter how many times you tried to ignore reading it, you just had to to see how bad it was. But like Dan T. said, we were not her targeted audience in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissance Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 And I'm sure there are plenty of Cathy fans who wouldn't give 2 ****s if the Redskins played their last game of football next year. The question is, why have so many of you read the comic enough to know that you hate it so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy Burner Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I really miss Calvin and Hobbes - Waterson NEEDS to bring that one back for about twenty years or so. Ditto for The Far Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I really miss Calvin and Hobbes - Waterson NEEDS to bring that one back for about twenty years or so. Ditto for The Far Side. I love C&H and Far Side both, but in a way I'm glad both are done. Simply for the fact that I see strips like Cathy and Garfield exists for like, 30 years on the same 5 stale jokes. Calvin and Hobbes remains fresh to this day for me (and I own ever singly collection), and I gotta imagine that Gary Larson would've gone completely insane if he'd kept that strip up for another 5 years.

fullnelson9999 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 And I'm sure there are plenty of Cathy fans who wouldn't give 2 ****s if the Redskins played their last game of football next year. The question is, why have so many of you read the comic enough to know that you hate it so much? I'd imagine that enough of us have skimmed over it while reading other comics. I've never opened the comics specifically to read Cathy, but I've certainly read it before. It's never been close to funny. Just bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
