Cathy

Cathy is a daily comic strip drawn by Cathy Guisewite. Featuring a woman who struggles through the "four basic guilt groups" of life—food, love, mom and work—the strip gently pokes fun at the foibles of modern women's lives. Initially, the strip was based largely on Guisewite's own life as a single woman, but after her marriage and motherhood, Guisewite could no longer relate to the character as much as she had before.

The strip debuted in November 1976, and currently appears in over 1,400 newspapers. The strips have been collected into more than 20 books. Although in recent years the strip had become repetitive, with plot lines often indistinguishable from previous strips, many readers felt Ms. Guisewite breathed new life into her work by having Irving, Cathy's longtime boyfriend, propose marriage on Valentine's Day 2004.
