[@elihechtman8]

Speaking of which, there was a Betty Crocker commercial Cathy appeared in, and that was a year before her first animated special. Funny thing is the commercial used digital ink and paint, still in its infancy.

[@scutoid-backrooms]

i'm an artist who works in both CG and traditional art :-) and i think you might be interested to know there's a lot of digital animation out there that feels very human and handmade, with the invention of tools like blender's Grease Pencil. check out the film 'i lost my body'.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Good grief.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Well, be that as it may, one thing that that needs to happen, if at all possible, is to have Cathy dump Irving for Orville Snorkel aka Sarge (from the Beetle Bailey comics), and after a year and a half in married housing at Camp Swampy, they along with Orville’s dog Otto load up bag and baggage for the Texas town of Arlen after Orville is given an honorable discharge back into civilian life. So, basically off they go in their vintage 1974 Chevrolet C20 Custom Deluxe crewcab pickup truck with a vintage Airstream Double Axle Land Yacht Safari trailer being pulled behind the pickup. Once that they arrive in Arlen, they first sign the papers to obtain legal ownership of the Dale Gribble house at 522 Rainey Street in Arlen; making them the new next door neighbors to Hank and Peggy Hill. Ofcourse, the down payment on the house takes the greater majority of the discharge pay, which has them taking out a mortgage to payoff the remainder of purchase to Sizemore Realty and the commission for Peggy Hill who sold them the house in the first place. Then Orville is granted a loan through the G.I. Bill, which he uses to open up a discount auto parts store in Arlen. Once these things are underway, Hank helps Orville turn Dale’s basement into a rumpus room while Peggy provides help to Cathy in the selection of maternity clothes now that she’s expectant with Orville Jr?!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

You think maybe you can possibly help us persuade Cathy Guisewite together with the heirs of Mort Walker to team up in getting Mike Judge convinced that he needs to allow for Cathy as well as Beetle Bailey to join the character lineup for the series revival of “KING OF THE HILL”?!

So they all three load up their vintage 1974 Chevrolet C20 Custom Deluxe crewcab pickup truck with a vintage Airstream Double Axle Land Yacht Safari trailer hitched up to the rear bumper, and then they all head out for the Texas town of Arlen, where they buy the Dale Gribble house at 522 Rainey Street. Ofcourse, they have to take out a mortgage to payoff the remainder of what they owe to Sizemore Realty and the commission for Peggy. Then Orville is granted a loan through the G.I. Bill, which he uses to open up a discount auto parts store in Arlen. After his whole first week of business, Orville then gets Hank’s help for converting Dale’s old basement into a rumpus room while Peggy is helping Cathy select maternity clothes now that she’s expectant with Orville Jr. Don’t worry about Charlie Brown, he lives just across the street at 517 Rainey Street.

At her own free will, unlike poor old Archie Bunker who was forced onto one because of the following factors: Sometime halfway between Mike first meeting Gloria and Gloria’s miscarriage in that first season of “ALL IN THE FAMILY”, Archie testified for the state of New York at a malpractice hearing to determine whether the license to practice medicine, including surgery, of Dr. Herod Nelson, which not only got his license to practice medicine in the state of New York revoked permanently, but he then spent the next few years in the cleaning of bed pans at various free clinics. However, when a certain colleague (employed as the company physician for Prendergast Tool & Dye), went on vacation, Nelson filled in for him, and that’s how Nelson found out where Archie Bunker was employed. The first thing in his revenge plan was to force Archie onto an unfair diet to unnecessarily lose 25LBS and to take an unauthorized prescription for blood pressure pills as well. Anyway, when the regular company physician returned from his vacation, Archie was off the diet, yet he found himself having to testify against Dr. Nelson again because without a license to practice medicine, Dr. Nelson wasn’t authorized to write the prescription for the blood pressure pills to Archie. So, even though Edith, Mike, and Gloria testified as character witnesses for Dr. Nelson, but the prosecutor got their testimony stricken from the record while the defense counselor (future Assistant District Attorney for the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) Richard Bay has the audacity to call in Reverend Chong to rebut Archie’s testimony, but somehow the prosecution prevented Reverend Chong from testifying altogether, eventually the jury found Dr. Nelson guilty of writing out a prescription without proper authorization to do so because the state of New York had revoked his license to practice medicine permanently a few years before, but this time, Dr. Nelson isn’t returning to the free clinics, he’s doing life without parole in the state penitentiary in Attica for endangering the life of Archie Bunker with an unfair diet and a phony prescription for blood pressure pills.

Well you're getting warm slightly! According to the credits, Cathy was produced by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, the former of whom produced many of the peanuts shorts and the latter being their lead animator and designer who worked with Schulz for years on various peanuts specials and movies

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

It’s a possibility.

[@themaestro2572]

Wait they actually showed his old man? I thought all the adults were offscreen going "womp womp womp".

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Then maybe it would prove interesting if Snoopy made a gentlemanly call on Lady Bird Hill.

[@brooklynbred1460]

Who remembers wrapping school text books in the Sunday funnies?

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

It’s a possibility.

[@shaunrodney]

Just looking at the animation, it's like I'm watching Charlie Brown

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Let’s just say that maybe Charlie Brown’s mother is a sibling of Cathy’s father, but they have a brother named Fred who together with his wife Marie, in the town of Riverdale, have a son named Archie and a daughter-in-law named Veronica.

[@2doot]

Im absolutely such a sucker for yhis specific brand on animation. Its just so incredibly charming.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Likewise.

[@yaoi.devil.]

id treat her right

[@Expressionlesscorpse]

She deserves better than Irving

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

With the same kind of romantic passion as Orville Snorkel aka Sarge (from the Beetle Bailey comics) hopefully?!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Another fan who favors the possibility of Cathy relocating to married housing at Camp Swampy as the wife of Orville Snorkel aka Sarge (from the Beetle Bailey comics).

[@CrackaHonkeyKilla]

she's litterally tryna cheat on him she sucks lmao

[@yaoi.devil.]

@@CrackaHonkeyKilla HE SUCKS she deserves better then her old guy

[@MrJeromeRN]

I used to love reading the comic strip in the newspaper every day when I was a kid. I had no idea that there were cartoons made.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Just three tv specials. No more. No less.

[@jonasisnumba1]

I love how zenith loses her shit whenever cathy is around lol

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Too bad that she didn’t try it around Peggy Hill. LOL!

[@stephaniebach__12-24]

These cartoons, the animation made is so much more genuine and better to watch than the computer and AI stuff today

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Amen!

[@promayes8186]

These were the good ole days

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

And the inflation from the Nixon administration was still lingering at the time. Then as of Saturday January 20TH, 2001, the inflation returned with a vengeance.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

And the same thing goes for the inflation rate.

[@hitfasthithard]

20:22 This show is shockingly hilarious 🤣

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

And on the same level as when Hank Hill gets a few good laughs.

[@Lily10403]

I dont remember this old cartoon but its interesting to say the least . Cathy reminds me of Bridget Jones Diary clingy and desperate . LOL

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

And all the more reason why Cathy deserves to have Peggy Hill as well as Daria Morgendorffer among her BFFs.

[@latoyiab79]

When I worked at a convenience store, I used to love reading Cathy in comic section of the newspaper. Especially on Sunday when it's im color.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Likewise.

[@georginabain5533]

I love this it reminds me of the peanuts cartoons ❤

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Same studio helped to produce it.

[@taylakurner]

I remember these comics and I vaguely remember there being a show. I was just thinking about Cathy, too. And now here it is on my feed. This should be rebooted!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

It wasn’t a regular show, it was just three tv specials.

[@taylakurner]

@@LindaCooper-i3f Thanks for the "well, actually" greatly appreciated.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Try imagining the possibility of Cathy throwing her bouquet to Miss Buxley the civilian secretary of General Halftrack?

[@Ednathe_dog1andonly]

Never knew it was a cartoon . Only saw it on the comic section in the news paper

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

So did almost everyone.

[@amaravazquez8591]

Rare Cathy nose sighting @6:09

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Interesting detail.

[@abbycollins]

This is like peanuts but for adults, I love it!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Just wait until Cathy becomes a new next door neighbor to Texas propane salesman Hank Hill and his wife Peggy?!

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

@@LindaCooper-i3f Dude why are you commenting this on every cathy video

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

BananaPhoPhilly, Is it now a crime to give a reply?

[@TheRealBlackarrot]

Still have this on VHS

[@michal31131]

Lucky

[@mintychustarclan7381]

So recently found Kathy, because of a McDonald's commercial.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Amusing.

[@Luis-jl6oh]

I used to read Cathy, I don't remember Cathy being at work so much

[@madamshay749]

Wow i was 1 month old when this aired 😩

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Intriguing.

[@psycho4agY]

I didn’t realize how much I missed this until it showed up in my recommended ❤

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

So far so good.

[@Trilltendo64]

Idk why Cathy got so much hate, I enjoyed this.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Puzzling, isn’t it?

[@enchilordo8562]

Oh my god Cathy is so adorabe I think I'm in love

[@lucyarmy8879]

She is perfect

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

More or less.

[@millsyinnz]

Cathy was the original childless cat lady that JD Vance hates.

[@happybadger3351]

I wonder what would happen if cathy moved to texas near a certain main charater of a animated sitcom?

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

For starters, they’d buy the Dale Gribble house at 522 South Rainey Street. Then they take out a mortgage to payoff the remainder of what they owe to Sizemore Realty and the commission for Peggy Hill. Then Orville Snorkel aka Sarge is granted a loan through the G.I. Bill, and opens up a discount auto parts store in Arlen. After just one week in business, Orville gets Hank’s help with converting Dale’s old basement into a rumpus room while Peggy is helping Cathy select maternity clothes now that she’s expectant with Orville Jr., and this occurs just after only a year and a half in married housing at Camp Swampy.

[@zazzifizzle]

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this ❤❤❤

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Same here.

[@vicki524]

Peanuts: Who are you? Cathy: I'm you, but with adult characters, and the main character has white eyes while the side characters have dot eyes.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Good grief.

[@michal31131]

"My plane doesn't leave for 7 hours" Damn you can tell this is dated before 9/11 and thorough checks in the gate. Today i would consider myself late the the plane if i wasn't at least on my watmy to the airport.

[@emleighan8876]

I used to read the comics in the newspaper as a kid and thought Cathy was boring, and not attractive... Growing up means that we are all Cathy. But Cathy still needs to stop doing so much for Irving, he kinda sucks... Also it's a nice touch "Dad, That gives me 4 hours to drive 20 minutes to the airport!"

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Gadzooks.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Good grief.

[@noodlesandwich2945]

He kinda sucks? Just 'kinda'? lol

[@caseycat]

I forgot this was a series. I always read the comic strips in the paper

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Likewise.

[@sparklingcupcakeps]

lol she lowkey still chose the same guy just in another person 🤣 then those mfs KNEW each other clearly from the past ….its funny how we can pick the same person over & over again

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Obviously it looks like 1ST Cousin Archie Andrews from Riverdale might just possibly have to step in, aided by his wife Veronica Lodge Andrews and his parents Fred and Marie to get the dilemma straightened out properly.

[@jenniferwashington7731]

It was in the comic strip in Sunday’s newspapers.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

One of many, including Beetle Bailey.

[@HandlesAreReallyBad]

The art style looks like that artwork you see in a kindergarten classroom

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

More or less.

[@nolundipukwana1286]

Wow this brings childhood memories. I remember reading Cathy comic books

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Strange? I’ll have to check eBay as soon as possible.

[@IslaLisa-g8t]

Love this show. With a capitol ❤

[@IslaLisa-g8t]

I had my legs waxed too!! 😢😢😢

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Excellent.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

What a way to go.

[@nativevirginian8344]

I liked the Cathy comic strip, I didn’t get married until I was 34, her life was my life for awhile. ☺
