    I did not know that Universal Press Syndicate is now known as Universal Uclick. What a shitty new name. Depressing.

    In junior high, our sex ed teacher ( a priest) told us to home and find an example of sexism in the newspaper that night. He suggested we look in the comic strip Cathy. Thankfully, that was the worse thing that ever happened with that priest.

    Bubs, perhaps it is Cathy's lack of a nose that gives you the idea that, aerodynamically, she would be made for cunnilingus.

    Met her once. Her dad was best friends with my boss from Army days. She was very nice, talked for a long time and actually a very interesting person. Not at all like her character. Not a big fan of the strip, but it had its place.

    Poor traumatized Electra - probably has canine PTSD from her human mommy.

    It was awesome when Bloom County portrayed Cathy Guisiwite as a Communist revolutionary. Anyhoo, I used to read it all the time, when it still had relevance to women's changing roles. The few times I've read it lately, it's unreadable, slightly more so than Doonesbury. Comic strips, I guess, have a certain shelf life before losing mojo

    I find it quite humorous that your sex ed teacher was a priest. On several levels.

    Perhaps the last comic-page word I ever read.

    People are staring at me now for laughing at that. And I don't want to explain to them why...

    Even if I were interested in reading it, there is so much type in the word bubbles and the comic have shrunk so much to fit smaller newspapers, it would be a chore to try to read it.

    Plus, it's not funny and Irving is a wimp.
