Look, i never expected i'd ever be reading a Cathy book, either. Guisewite and her husband Chris Wilkinson reside in Los Angeles. Guisewite was a frequent guest in the latter years of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. In 1987, she received an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program for the TV special Cathy, which aired on CBS. In 1993, Guisewite received the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year from the National Cartoonists Society. Guisewite received her bachelor's degree in English in 1972. She attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. Guisewite was born in Dayton, Ohio and grew up in Midland, Michigan. Her main cartoon character (Cathy) is a career woman faced with the issues and challenges of work, relationships, her mother and food, or as Guisewite herself put it in one of her strips, "The four basic guilt groups."

Googled how to permanently delete my Google search history. Googled how to chop my insulting blue jeans into face masks. Googled how to get hot fudge out of a duvet cover. I’ve binge watched, binge eaten, binge shopped, binge prayed. I’ve worn the same pair of sweatpants for fourteen months. This little book is a compassionate companion for right now and, long after the pandemic is over, will be a treasured scrapbook of what we survived-the fear of droplets, the work-from-refrigerator wear, the revenge retail therapy of online shopping, the frustration of trying to teach Grandma to Zoom from 3,000 miles away, the little shreds of hope mixed in with the sourdough bread dough. In the same way that Cathy was a relatable friend during the comic strip years, she’s returned to offer some happy relief, support, and a much-needed AACK from isolation. We’re all in this together…but it helps to see someone else with her face planted in the bowl of mashed potatoes. Isolation commiserations from the creator of the iconic “Cathy” comic strip, Cathy Guisewite!
