A Pressing Dilemma

I never expected to be Cathy'd here
I guess I've lived a very sheltered life,.. I've never even heard of Cathy Guisewite, or seen any of her comics, so, it's no wonder I don't recognise, or know who she is...
ok, I'm old, and I still don't know what a "cathy" reference is?? soooo, what is it??
Cathy reference??? Awesome!
Jeph, are you even old enough for Cathy references? I don't think I 've seen it since the early 90s.
We had it in the newspaper comics in the early 2000s
Typo in panel 3: "imprecison".
Yay is coming along nicely,.... Elliot needs to chill, I wonder if Yay has a broad variety of frames,.... I've seen three distinct types all on the slim side - Is their a heavy lifter, a small precise, or even a battlebot? This Universe has so much potential. ........ Poor Marten.
I'd love to see Elliot with the actually ACK face!
Go with the classic unbuttoned button-up over a t-shirt and jeans, Elliot! Roll up the sleeves for an even more casual feel, and if you wear a belt you can button up and tuck it in to lean more "business casual" if you overestimated how casual the occasion is. It's the ultimate social camouflage outfit.
I'm a fat northern plains Native, I'd sweat too much in that outfit but it's good advice.
As soon as I saw “ack”, I looked at the bottom to see if you were actually making a Cathy reference.
Do...do other people not stick themselves with hangers?
Yay is conforming to a stereotype and doesn't like it.
"Ack" makes me think of Bill the Cat from Bloom County.
AAACCK! Thbbbfftt!!!!
Forgive me my suspicions. Eliot meets Clinton's mom and turns out to be one of her more frequent gentlemen callers... (I'll go hide now.)
More likely he'd learn about her callers and look in awe at her, saying "TEACH ME YOUR WAYS."
I feel both sides of that conversation...
GODDAMMIT, GET TO THE DICK STUFF!
amen
Flashback to Dora and Tai’s first date! ❤️
Has anyone mentioned that Yay is clearly a disguise for Desire of the Endless? (Note: if Jeph is reading this: I am not calling you unoriginal. I'm making a joke.)
Except Desire is very adept, indeed a master of understanding human emotions, Yay seems to be working things out. But in looks, I'm totally with you.
My mother and my aunt Ruthie were, at the height of the comic's popularity, basically each Cathy.
Hehehe... Cathy reference. You're doing great, Yay!
I had forgotten that Cathy was even a thing
CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE! ACK!
Since dinner didn't happen maybe they should just go to the fancy bar and rent outfits.
The dinner date's still on but the actual meal is probably take out.
i hope he doesnt overdress and make it weird at the moms house. he should ask yay for opinions on his outfits.
Do you have a puppy named puddles?
Ack!! Reference... I guess it had to happen eventually, even in QC.
Jeph if Elliot doesn't show up in a morning coat and top hat... I wanna say I'm cancelling my pledge but somehow it being the dress code at the Revelation makes it less funny
That would of course be an absurd outfit. One wears white tie and tails when dressing for dinner.
I knew that Spookybot could be spooky, but I didn't know they had "triggering your social anxiety" as part of their repertoire of frightenings.
And here I was hoping it was a Bill The Cat reference but Cathy makes more sense here.
ack fft
Nack!
SYN!
YOU LAUGH BUT HANGERS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF WARDROBE RELATED TRAUMATIC EYE INJURIES
... what's the second leading cause?
Ack!
Elliot talking to Yay in TCP
Elliot might do better after a short RST.
Well, Elliot. You can ask Yay for outfit help. They do have on point styles, after all.
And they know a skilled personal shopper in town.
I just had a vision of a future comic where Elliot shows up dressed super nice and Clinton's Mom immediately starts hitting on him over dinner.
I think that Mrs A has a bit more chill than that.
I can't tell if I wanna BE Yay, or date them
I think Yay would be fun on a road trip.
come out of the closet, El
It's been quite a day for AI putting their feet in their mouths...
Someday, Yay will reach a deep and abiding understanding of human behavior. Then the Robot Apocalypse.
I understood that reference.
I sometimes wonder if there's a group of people who have never seen the comics in newspapers
There is, and most of them are in high school
Yay tries....
..."light social poke" and rolls 20.
