The biggest change in my life is that I now have to apologize for being thin.

Food ... love ... mother ... career ... Live every day to the fullest. Partake of the four basic guilt groups.

In 1976 I wrote a lot about women trying to claim the right to work.

The story of a mother's life: Trapped between a scream and a hug.

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

All mothers have intuition. The great ones have radar.

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.
