Cathy Guisewite

I'm lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home.

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.

The best strips are the most honest. That's just the truth of it.

The humor section is the last place an author wants to be. They put your stuff next to collections of Cathy cartoons.

I write about the men you want to read about but don't necessarily want to be married to.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
