Sylvia, her cat and her friends have been on my bookshelf so long the pages are loose. Sometimes I go look for it, to bring my perspective back to center if the daily news seems a little overwhelming.
Sylvia is an advice columnist who blows bubbles with her chewing gum and often types her acerbic observations while soaking in the bathtub. I don’t see her typewriter in this one below, but it usually sits on a desk-board across the tub.
When Hollander retired Sylvia from newspaper syndication in 2012, she planned to keep posting previous strips on her blog. “Many of them, unfortunately, are as relevant now as they were then," she said at the time.
Enjoy the realistic details!
