http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marrying_Irving I only upon the other day ran into the comics-oriented and -inspired phrase " marrying Irving " .
I think it's a good one !!!!!!!!!!!
I do recall that we ,here at CC's , discussed the eventual development that came from that happening which inspired the term !!!!!!!!!!!

...Okay , okay , okay . It's a newspaper-strip equivalent/rough parallel to , ur , " jumping the shark " , as those " hip " , " cyber- " , kids - Of " Generation X " !!!!!!!!!!! They like hanging around , " slacking " , discussing their piercings and their favorite " Brady Bunch " reruns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - are wont to say . When a comic strip takes a direction/introduces a plot-format development that goes against the strip's basic concept .
And it's inspired by ~ When Cathy married Irving . In CATHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
