We always advise having “many legs under your table.” In other words, comic creators should have many sources of revenue. If one is threatened, the others can keep the business aloft.

Cathy Guisewite, the creator of the iconic comic strip ‘Cathy’, shares her journey through the world of cartooning, the challenges she faced as a female cartoonist, and the cultural impact of her work. From her early days of struggling with drawing to her experiences on The Tonight Show, Cathy reflects on her evolution as an artist and the significance of her comic strip in addressing women’s issues. She discusses the release of her 50th Anniversary Collection and the bittersweet feelings surrounding the end of her long-running strip.
