The New Collected Cathy

Cathy Guisewite’s iconic comic strip received a handsome, full-color hardcover retrospective in 1985, collecting decades of her beloved, neurotic single-woman humor. Published by Andrews McMeel, this single volume captured the essence of Cathy’s perpetual struggles with dieting, shopping, and dating, cementing her status as a relatable voice for a generation. It remains a tidy, essential snapshot of one of the most popular newspaper strips of the late 20th century.
