I have lots of comic book collections. I read them to my kids when they were young to teach them humor - Peanuts (love the ones where the kids are toddlers), Baby Blues, Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, etc.

Cathy is such a great one. It is nice to read a little a day and laugh out loud. I think we all need a little cheer and laughter.

Cathy is both the eternal optimist and the eternal neurotic. She lives inside her head so much that she can see how a date plays out before she’s even left her apartment. Her travails with off again on again boyfriend Irving, her mother, who is an awful lot like her, and her semi-dysfunctional work family are hilarious.

Finally a comic book written about women by a woman. I so related to so much of what Cathy goes through. I think most women can. If you want to add a little humor to your day in bite-sized chunks, check this book out!

Ok so this Cathy book should come exactly with the same description of the previous one I read from her.

Li os livros da Cathy há mais de 30 anos! Na altura adorei!

Ainda tenho alguns volumes.

Numa noite de insónia, decidi reler o primeiro e, quase de uma assentada, em poucos dias, já tinha lido três!
