A Mouthful of Breath Mints and No One to Kiss #[nn]

Jan 1983 · Andrews McMeel · 5.95 USD
“Phone calls. There are too many phone calls."”

Cathy Guisewite's warm, self-deprecating humor is on full display in this 1983 collection, where the cover shows Cathy herself — pink wide-brimmed hat adorned with a cheerful yellow flower, long brown hair, and a heart on her shirt — framed inside a red valentine heart, smiling with endearing optimism despite the title's perfectly relatable lament. It's the kind of cover that instantly captures the strip's signature blend of romantic hopefulness and comic frustration. A lovely snapshot of why Guisewite's work resonated so deeply with readers navigating the everyday adventures of modern life.
