Newlyweds Cathy and Irving navigate the treacherous waters of couple-hood. From pampered pets to prying parents, they’ve got a lot to learn! Wedding or not, it’s still all about Cathy - she personifies the young career woman and her typical daily obstacles. Ice cream, panic attacks, stress and love are all in a day’s work. We read, we identify, we laugh. Who could ask for more?
Cathy is the Everywoman. She deals with diets, self-esteem, in-laws, and letting her husband know that she is the boss. Everyone can identify with her shopping, bills, taxes, planning for the future and coping with her husband’s incessant computer golf games. Whether you are a newlywed, single, or have been married for decades, all will enjoy the daily predicaments of Cathy and Irving.

Well done.

I guess this is it, then. Funny, but a pregnant Cathy with the parents and in-laws would have been hilarious.

Cathy’s mother was always the perfect mother…a titch neurotic at times, but always coming through with the perfect words to say. Her dad was always the typical father. They were always there for her. They will be great grandparents…we just won’t be able to share in all their good times. As Cathy would say …’WAAAAAAAAAAAA’…

I just KNEW IT! Got me into tears! I KNOW how mother feels as I felt the same way when I learn that my son’s wife expecting! I was thrilled. I will miss “Cathy” strips as I enjoyed every day for so many years since Cathy came out.
So long and will miss you!

Be good to Irving, Cathy, he’s trying SO hard. God bless all of you. (Does your mother happen to buy her clothes at the same shop as Norman Bates’ mother?) Your mom is going to have so much fun suffocating your new little one!
I’ll miss you, Cathy! We were in our 20’s and 30’s together, out there forging our careers together under the glass ceiling! Why are you not in your 50’s now, you whippersnapper?!
Lots of love!
