Her frequent and frustrating shopping excursions also give rise to an enormous wave of female recognition "Skip the clothes and just shove a Stairmaster through the curtain," Cathy deadpans.Cathy Guisewite is an enormously talented cartoonist who has won numerous awards for her strip and animated television shows.
