My Take
Cathy Guisewite earns my real respect. For 34 years she turned the everyday anxieties of working women, food, relationships, careers, and that complicated bond with mother, into a comic strip millions read with a guilty laugh of recognition. Her own phrase, the four basic guilt groups, is wickedly precise. The Emmy, the Reuben Award, and her Ohio Women's Hall of Fame induction confirm what readers already knew: she was genuinely funny and genuinely observant. What I admire most is her commitment to the unglamorous, true texture of daily life, drawn from sharp, patient observation. She gave ordinary worries a voice, and that lasts.
