Some folks who read this column are having a hard time recognizing satire: “trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly.”
I see comments day after day indicating that many people don’t realize Guisewite feels the same way they do - she’s using satire in Cathy to make a point, while letting us laugh at human nature.
It also seems odd that anyone could seemingly have a real “grudge” against a cartoon character like Irving!
