$14 in the Bank and a $200 Face in My Purse: A Cathy Collection #[nn]

This 1990 collection gathers Cathy Guisewite's classic comic strips centered on the eternal struggles of single working woman Cathy—balancing career pressures, dieting woes, and the chaotic love life with Irving. The title humorously captures Cathy's familiar dilemma of having minimal cash but splurging on beauty products, a theme that runs through these daily and Sunday strips. Fans of the long-running series will recognize the relatable, self-deprecating humor that made Cathy a cultural touchstone for generations of readers.
