The worst comic strip ever. Even worse than Family Circus, because while Family Circus is equally small-minded, trite and moronic, Cathy Guisewaite makes Bill Keane look like Michaelangelo in comparison. Comic strip art spans from the sublime (Bill Watterson, Charles Schultz) all the way down to those who flatly can't do it, but compensate through pure charm and bite (Scott Adams). But Guisewite's horrible ideas combined with her seventh-grader's pen add up to less than nothing.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

When was it ever NOT lame?
Thank for you your totally informed and rational opinion. I think I missed your point through - do you like 'Cathy' or not?
Are you talking to me or to him?
(Kidding; I realize it's me.) While I'm imperiously trashing comic strips here's my rant against Family Circus:

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that it's one of the worst strips of all time... or maybe I just don't "get" it.
