$14 In The Bank And A $200 Face In My Purse

By Cathy Guisewite

This collection of Cathy comic strips was published in 1990. In this collection Cathy has her little dog Electra and hasn't been dating her long time boyfriend, Irving for quite awhile. She briefly dates another fellow, Simon, but soon finds him boring. But still gets upset when a friend from work starts seeing Simon after Cathy is no longer interested.
Electra, Cathy's dog, seems sad and Cathy thinks the dog may be missing Irving. So Cathy invites him over and is surprised to find that he has quit his job and gained thirty pounds. Which he proceeds to lose in one day by merely skipping lunch.

Typical Cathy comic, with all the usual struggles with diet, exercise, overeating, overspending and over-dramatizing everything. Familiar territory but still a lot of fun to read.
