The comic strip “Cathy” will end on October 3, 34 years after its creation. The strip’s creator, Cathy Guisewite, said Wednesday that she’s ending the strip so that she can spend more time with her 18-year-old daughter. At its peak, the comic appeared in 1,400 papers and won the 1992 National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award. “Cathy” was largely autobiographical and Guisewite calls the decision to end it “excruciating.”
