Cartooning is a wonderful career, and Id like more women to get to have it. I cant think of any reason why we wont see more syndicated female cartoonists in the future. – Cathy Guisewite
The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise. – Cathy Guisewite
Im lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home. – Cathy Guisewite
Imagine my surprise when, after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself, Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy. – Cathy Guisewite
