I never thought Cathy would get married in the comic strip. And I also thought I would never get married in real life. So both are shocks to me.

Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material.

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

The specific story line that people have responded to the most has been the horror of bathing suit shopping.
