Their lives have changed In general, but all women deal with the same basic issues." So character Cathy, who Guisewite says Is "younger than I am but older than she used to be," remains single and frustrated. And besides, Gulsewite doetn't want to alienate her family by dragging their lives Into the comic pages. Except for her mother, who she says she quotes directly from life.

"I'm really happy and proud to come back to Detroit. I feel like I could not live In Los Angeles If I hadn't grown up in Michigan because it gave me great grounding in life. I feel like my Michigan upbringing Is helping me raise my children with values and a sense of family and normalcy out here that otherwise wouldn't be so possible."

"Cathy" first appeared in print in 1976, when there were virtually no women's voices on the comics pages. "When I began the comic strip, I literally was Illustrating my life.

And the comic strip syndicate that I had sent them to bought it immediately, because the world was changing dramatically for women then. They said it was very emotionally true to what women were going through." Since then, Guisewite moved to became commercially successful, adopted a daughter and gotten married, becoming a stepmother. The character Cathy, however, is still single and dealing with her obsession with weight, her mother and her middle-management job at the fictitious Product Testing Inc. 'I think her neuroses maybe have gotten refined a little bit," said Guisewite, pointing out that Cathy now also worries about gray hair and wrinkles.

When, on the second round of the auction, North announced' support with fair values, South; embarked on a cue-bidding sequence to unlock the hand's potential. North's cue-bid in spades was music to South's ears but not enough to commit to slam, so' South continued the probe by cue- bidding diamonds at the The king of trumps was enough to persuade North to commit to 12 tricks. Declarer won the opening diamond lead perforce and paused to consider what evil might befall the slam. A 4-0-trump break would likely prove fatal but, with any mal distribution, as long as clubs were 4-3, two club ruffs in dummy' should be obtainable, one low and one high, and declarer would lose" only one' trump trick, probably, when the second club ruff estab.
