Wake Me Up When I'm

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.

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.

Where's My Tax Form? Where's The File That's Supposed To Hold My W-2 Form And Interest Statement? Where's The Mileage Log I Specifically Asked Be Kept Last Year?? Where's The Monthly Check Summary? And Who's Been Stuffing Visa Receipts In The Aluminum Foil Drawer??!! How Embarrassing. I'm Surrounded By Idiots And I'm The Only One In The Office.

In 1976 I Wrote A Lot About Women Trying To Claim The Right To Work.

The Biggest Change In My Life Is That I Now Have To Apologize For Being Thin.
