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
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
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
I had such a close relationship with my dog, and my dog so filled the need in my life to have children that I just wanted Cathy to have that experience. – Cathy Guisewite
Because of my unique experience as my moms child, the beginning of my journey was more about me trying to figure out who I was on my own. My mom is one of the greatest moms and so supportive of all my siblings and of all of us being who we are, and not who she wanted us to be. – Tracee Ellis Ross
