Defy your own group. Rebel against yourself. – Cathy Guisewite
Mothers send strips to daughters to make a point. Daughters smack strips down on the breakfast table to make a point. My own mom sometimes cuts a strip out and sends it to me to make sure I understand her. – 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
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
The more anxious, isolated and time-deprived we are, the more likely we are to turn to paid personal services. To finance these extra services, we work longer hours. This leaves less time to spend with family, friends and neighbors we become less likely to call on them for help, and they on us. – Arlie Russell Hochschild
