"Yes." Rarely has one word resonated so loudly from the world's comic pages. But when leading lady Cathy finally took the plunge-after twenty-seven years!-and accepted boyfriend Irving's slightly unusual marriage proposal, Cathy's fans smiled with sighs of relief...and anticipation of the fun to come. The Wedding of Cathy and Irving captures all the excitement, magic, and-yes-the nerve-racking overanalyzing that filled the Cathy strips leading up to the "yes," the whirlwind year of wedding planning, and the big day itself. The book also features a condensed history of the couple's relationship, including highlights from their earliest dating days in 1976 to the weeks before the discovery of the "ring box." Cathy Guisewite launched Cathy in newspapers in 1976, becoming one of the few female cartoonists to hit the daily strip Big Time. Twenty-eight years later, Cathy's creation now appears in more than 1,400 newspapers worldwide, and she reaches even greater audiences through the twenty collections and gift books of Cathy cartoons. Cathy Guisewite's many awards include a 1993 Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year and an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program for her CBS Cathy special.Guisewite, Cathy is the author of 'Wedding of Cathy and Irving A Collection', published 2005 under ISBN 9780740726682 and ISBN 0740726684.
