Fifty things that aren't my fault : essays from the… di Cathy Guisewite
Fantastic. Her life still resonates so strongly with me. Loved this book
*Diets that don’t work
*The temptation of chocolate
*Recognizing that yes, you really do need nine pairs of almost but not quite identical black pumps
*The agony of swimsuit-trying-on season
*The endless search for the perfect jeans
*The elusive promise of cosmetics
*The fruitless search for organization and perfection
These are all themes that frequently appeared in the 'Cathy' comic strip over its 34-year run, and strip creator Cathy Guisewite has, not surprisingly, revisited them all in her book of essays, Fifty Things That Aren't My Fault (including, apparently, coming up with only 48 entries).
Added to that are further sources of angst from Guisewite’s personal life – being an empty-nester worrying about the innocence and vulnerability of her only child leaving home for college at precisely the same time she worries about the frailty and vulnerability of her aging parents. Those topics turn more heartfelt than humorous as one progresses into the collection, and the reader who is looking for laughs at their own foibles may find, instead, a great deal of soul-searching about trying to hold on to the people we love even as they are slipping away from us.… (altro)

Cathy Guisewite comes out of retirement and brings her Cathy Andrews comic strip character with her to reflect on life in lockdown for an affluent White woman during the COVID-19 pandemic. I haven't read a Cathy strip in years, but quickly fell back into the rhythm of Guisewite's gentle "Ack!" humor about hair, eating, and shopping. It ain't deep, but it's comfortable.
Continuity buffs may worry about the utter absence of husband Irving Hillman and the daughter they were expecting in the final strip of the original series in 2010.… (altro)

I loved the Cathy comic strip. There were so many things in this book that I really could relate to...and there were so many things that I have friends that do the very same things that Cathy did in the same situations. The entries were funny, they were sad sometimes, and they were all thought provoking. Those readers younger than 55 will see what they will almost mostly have to look forward to...those of us older will just smile and nod...since we've probably been there and done that.
