- Take a trip down memory lane with this celebratory 50th anniversary collection of Cathy Comics, curated from an iconic 34-year run of the beloved comic strip. The Cathy comic strip debuted in 1976, the first of its kind to center on modern womanhood in a funny and relatable way. Starting at a time when women were forging into careers and men were wondering what happened, the iconic strip became a voice for women finding their way in a new world. For 34 years, Cathy tackled everything from tragic blind dates, insane diet trends, sexist workplaces, and deep, unbreakable bonds with Mom.

- About The Author
- Cathy Guisewite is the creator of the "Cathy" comic strip which ran daily in nearly 1,400 newspapers from 1976 to 2010. Launched when there were almost no female voices on the comic pages, the strip became a deeply personal touchstone for women wrestling with a changing world. The strip earned Guisewite the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award in 1992, an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program for the TV special Cathy in 1987, and the high honor of having her work displayed on the fronts of refrigerators across the land, right next to the food.
