Thin Thighs in Thirty Years: A Cathy Collection [Paperback]

Cathy Guisewite (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1986

""I know I'm supposed to be assertive and self-sufficient," the comic strip Cathy says, "but it's boring to be invincible all by yourself"...this is the Cathy people love." --New York Daily News

Cathy stops at the bakery on the way home from aerobics...proclaims her love for the single life yet secretly keeps a list of songs for her wedding...files business correspondence in the "doomed pile" in the corner of her office...begs her mother for advice, and then screams at her for giving it...and like millions of bright, successful women, spends bathing suit season sobbing in the department store dressing room.

I read this twice in a row and really enjoyed it. Not quite as classic a "A Mouthful of Breath Mints and No One to Kiss", but close.

Hillariously whitty. If you've ever tried slimming, especially for extended periods of time you'll have to at least give a giggle reading the descriptions. On a more serious note, it has helped me to put a little more perspective on my need to be fashionably slim. We have all been brainwashed to beliving that thin is in, so whether you are a dieter or have ever watched the extent that family or friends have gone to to lose weight, you'll find this a good read.
