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.

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!

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