Cathy sucks
Okay, forget about Jessica Biel dressed up as Jessica Rabbit. The true main attraction here is the brilliant portrayal of Cathy.

I've always hated Cathy. It's a comic in arrested development. It's been the same joke for like 35 years, and the artist never seems to get any better. It offends me that it remains on the comics page to this day. I think she got married recently. Ooo, way to expand the strip there, Guisewite.

By the way, I'm not bitching about the stereotypes about men and women that are used in the comic. I don't care about those, because I'm not an oversensitive PC snob. Stereotypes are funny because they're not realistic. I love stereotypes. I just hate this comic because it's stuck on the same joke over and over.

Cathy is one of those newspaper strips whose death about which I often dream. I salivate thinking about the influx of talent from the internet steamrolling archaic strips like Cathy.

It may not have been the point of the strip, but I really like how the SNL player here basically went through every single joke that has ever been in a Cathy comic in the span of four minutes. Seriously! You never have to read another Cathy strip, because every joke is here.
