About this ebook
A hilarious look at women in the workplace starring one of America’s favorite comic-strip heroines.
“I guess if anything I’ve ever written could cause them to one day remove the fluorescent lights from the swimwear department, then I’ve lived a full life.” —Cathy Guisewite in Biography magazine
Cathy is like a longtime friend who shares the same fears and frustrations as most women: the frightening sight of too-tight swimsuits in a dressing room mirror, the relentless call of the refrigerator, and men who are never quite right.
This book is based on one of Cathy’s most popular subjects: Work. Cathy is a cartoon soul mate, who stresses over the four basic guilt groups. Readers will find comfort, solace, and lots of laughs.
