 Imagine my surprise when, after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself, Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy. |
| My mother had always taught me to write about my feelings instead of sharing really personal things with others, so I spent many evenings writing in my diary, eating everything in the kitchen and waiting for Mr. Wrong to call. |
| I never thought Cathy would get married in the comic strip. And I also thought I would never get married. |
| I?m more financially successful, but it just means the shopping blunders I make are bigger now. |
| Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material. |
| I had such a close relationship with my dog, and my dog so filled the need in my life to have children that I just wanted Cathy to have that experience. |
| Cartooning is a wonderful career, and I'd like more women to get to have it. I can't think of any reason why we won't see more syndicated female cartoonists in the future. |
