"I know I'm supposed to be assertive and self-sufficient," the comic strip Cathy says, "but it's boring to be invincible all by yourself"...this is the Cathy people love." --New York Daily News
Cathy stops at the bakery on the way home from aerobics...proclaims her love for the single life yet secretly keeps a list of songs for her wedding...files business correspondence in the "doomed pile" in the corner of her office...begs her mother for advice, and then screams at her for giving it...and like millions of bright, successful women, spends bathing suit season sobbing in the department store dressing room.
