Cat grows a beard?

Cat drinks paint.

A little paint never hurt anyone.

Love it.

tex mexing- I read that and ruined a perfectly good swig of coffee and a few paper towels.

I couldn’t find ‘tex mexing’ on either Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary. That pretty much covers both ends of the spectrum. Now I’m at a loss.

This comic reminds me of my childhood with my father.

Tex-Mex is a style of Mexican food that can be found at restaurants in Texas. “Tex Mexing” sounds like “text messaging” which you should not do whilst driving. Nor should you eat a giant burrito covered in queso when behind the wheel.

@David: As far as I know, Tex-Mex refers to the cuisine of Texas and Mexico.

Oh, someone just said that. Nevermind.

it could also be this rail road:

i got pulled over on wednesday for out-of-date tags, and the first thing i thought was: is this about eating chips and salsa while i’m driving?

I always cry in my driveway. It is the only place where I am constantly haunted by my Regrets and Bad Decisions.

tex mex as far as i know from experience is anything tejano, that comes from the border area in texas and mexico. i thought of music

Cat hasn’t been drinking paint much lately. Glad to see that classic C&G shtick get dusted off.

Brilliant.

A vihuela is a type of guitar used in mariachi music, which I don’t think even Cat would mistake for food, even in Juarez or possibly Terlingua or just Santa Fe.

Viva Terlingua! Ayi yi yi!

Vihuela is also a winery, which explains (part of) Cat’s buzz…

Sometimes I feel like the audience surrogate. Except instead of constantly asking about the mechanics of impossible science fiction devices, I’m constantly asking about American culture.

Can someone explain Girl’s facial expression in the 9th & 11th frames?

everyone one of these comments section is like a little group of art critics dissecting each comic and trying to figure out what it all means.

Oh! Did I miss the pun, C.?

I just looked it up. It’s a long way from Tejas.

‘Schtick’!?! Cat falls off the wagon a little, and all of a sudden a perfectly healthy addiction becomes a comedic plot device! What’s the world coming to? :^)

Jake,

I love the fact that Dorothy is just monitoring these comments, letting us trying to figure it out by ourselves…

“Why do we drive on a parkway and cry on a driveway?”

Its always funny to me when I’m caught off guard like that with something depressing.

The first step is to admit that you have a problem

Oh also I want to say that frames 4 to 5 describe my usual drunkenness just perfectly

Oh also as a final commentary, Vihuela is a type of guitar-like corded instrument native of Spain (although a mexican Vihuela does exist) and it’s also the nickname for guitar in several southamerican countries. I laughed hardheartedly at the idea of someone trying to drive while playing a guitar.

I’m troubled that I find Cat the most sympathetic character to my own life.

Tex-Mex, thanks, now I’m hungry. We have this little hole in the wall restaurant…
