a favorite strip from years ago... cathy is driving to work and every time she stops at a light, she works on applying her makeup...

finally she's all done up and ready for the day..

by lunchtime, her makeup has become smudged and has practically disappeared...

she looks out the window at the smog and, in a eureka moment, realizes...

it's not smog hanging over the cityscape...

it's eyeshadow!

winces.

blame me for the bad telling rather than cathy!

Are you sure about that? I can't see that being a painless punchline.

You forgot how Cathy says ACK!

true, josh!

i wish there were a way to find the actual strip. i will spare you all from recollecting my favorite Mutts strip! for now.
