Cathy

Take a trip down memory lane with this celebratory 50th anniversary collection of Cathy Comics, curated from an iconic 34-year run of the beloved comic strip. The Cathy comic strip debuted in 1976, the first of its kind to center on modern womanhood in a funny and relatable way. Starting at a time when women were forging into careers and men were wondering what happened, the iconic strip became a voice for women finding their way in a new world. For 34 years, Cathy tackled everything from tragic blind dates, insane diet trends, sexist workplaces, and deep, unbreakable bonds with Mom. As the reality of womanhood morphed from the late '70s to the mid-2000s, Cathy wrestled her way through love, life, food, and work, and opened the door for a new generation of female comics and illustrators to follow in her footsteps.   This lovingly curated collection of career-defining comics is a celebration of both Cathy Comics and Cathy Guisewite's journey. The perfect gift for every fan of the classic and the innovative.
