"Cathy": 1976-2010 - The Awl

“Cathy” creator Cathy Guisewite is hanging up the acks after 34 years of trying to bring The Real Life Of A (Neurotic) Single Lady (Who Is Surrounded By Horrible People) to the funny pages.

Goodbye, Cathy. Your struggles in the office and the department store dressing room were like musty time capsules to the early ’80s, but you are survived by many comic strips who reek of even older times.

Today, the angels are overeating in heaven.

Ack, indeed.
