Cathy was an American gag-a-day comic strip, drawn by Cathy Guisewite from 1976 until 2010. It's about a woman, Cathy, who struggles through the "four basic guilt groups" of life—food, love, family, and work. The strip gently pokes fun at the lives and foibles of modern women. Cathy's characteristics and issues both made fun of and sometimes fed into negative stereotypes about women. The strip debuted on November 22, 1976, and at its peak appeared in over 1,400 newspapers. The strips have been compiled into more than 20 books. Three television specials were also created. Guisewite received the National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award in 1992 for the strip.
Initially, the strip was based largely on Guisewite's own life as a single woman. "The syndicate felt it would make the strip more relatable if the character's name and my name were the same," Guisewite said in an interview. "They felt it would make it a more personal strip, and it would help people to know it was a real woman who was going through these things. I hated the idea of calling it 'Cathy.'" However, Guisewite had Cathy's longtime boyfriend Irving propose marriage on Valentine's Day 2004. The two characters married in the February 5, 2005 strip. That same year, Cathy appeared in the 75th anniversary party of Blondie and Dagwood.

Genres: Drama, Mystery, Short,Waar ging je leven verkeerd werd je vrede gepenetreerd?
Had iemand je wreed bezeerd of was je volledig verteerd
Door een heviger sfeer waar niemand van weet in de weer
met 'n vreselijk zeer of Kee, leed je geen een keer?
Die vele keren voel ik je zwevende spirit
't leven is niet eerlijk vergeet wat de meesten beweren
Kan dit niet even verteren "dan maar berusten"
omdat je anders levend wordt verteerd en zeker weten verleerd
om zelf te eren dat je eigen leven verschilt van al die zere
wonden die maar blijven schrijnen door andermans overlijden
Ik zal niet wijken - bezwijken? Dat zal dan nog moeten blijken
Die foto bij oma thuis zal ik voor altijd goed bekijken
Daar lijk je zo in je sas blijvende in je pas geen skeletten in de kast 't zit me nog dwars
De pijn van rouw is blijvend grauw je schijnt zo trouw als fijne vrouw
Van mij voor jou een rijm voor nou & altijd
Je bent diep in mijn hart
Voor Nou en Altijd
Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag
Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af
Je bent diep in mijn hart
Voor Nou en Altijd
Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag
Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort
Wanneer ik me in gedachtes verdiep hoe jij dan in de nacht sliep
Vast afwachtend en lief zoet lachend of met 'n vracht verdriet
Was je aan 't gapen lekker wanneer je slaap je laatste herder
werd 't vage sterker vraagtekens graven verder
Dit gaat verder zwaar heftig van kwaad tot erger
Hoe graag men ook 't antwoord op die vragen nou wil hebben
Knaagt sterk 't gevoel van traag verwerken
M'n ratio kraakt als kwaad personeel staakt 't effe
En even goed bekeken ploetert m'n wezen en oefen wreed m'n brainpezen
om dit gedoe levend voorgoed te facen
Hoe dan ook - moet ik sjesen bloedzwetend weet ik
Al zoekende beter hoe dit voor m'n moeders moet wezen
Dus Mamma dit is voor jou en je Mamma 't werk is onbegonnen
Wil niet vloeken op m 'n tong ligt toch die Godverdomme van Waarom he?
Verder dan stoere praat sinds waar ik over rap op deze plaat
weet ik waar het leven om draait
Dit is voor iedereen die iemand mist niemand die gist
Hoe diep je verdriet dan ook is als die iemand er niet meer is
En hoe lief 't ook is als iemand je mist haalt 't je niet uit de diepe shit
die er is omdat die peep er niet meer is
En voor ieder die op 'n begrafenis of crematie is
vragend pijnlijk verhalend als 'Je Moest Waarschijnlijk Gaan' ook is
Emotioneel in tranen is tot 't haast manisch is
Balend van hoe de dood tragisch haar eigen weg aan het banen is
Cathy, ik noem je zo gewoon als 'n vriendin, m'n lieve buur een toffe meid of lief kind
Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag
Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af
Voor Nou en Altijd
Voor Nou en Altijd
Je bent diep in mijn hart
Voor Nou en Altijd
Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag
Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af
Je bent diep in mijn hart
Voor Nou en Altijd
Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag
