The Family Circus Treasury

Based on her own life, Cathy Guisewite has created a sympathetic character for every woman who stresses over the four basic guilt groups: food, love, mother, and career”. Her pudgy, long-haired cartoon alter ego speaks to every woman who has ever dreaded mom’s comments when arriving without a date (again) at Thanksgiving. In “Confessions to my Mother”, Cathy reveals some of her deepest, but humorous feelings about her mom.
