“Cathy,” a staple of funny pages and comedian punchlines for 34 years, came to an end on Sunday. Here is the final strip.

After all that complaining, to be married and pregnant at 34 — not bad, Cathy, not bad.

A new British study of 1,031 women aged 45-60 suggests that women feel their sexiest at age 34. Also, while women in their twenties and thirties are having the most sex, women in their forties and fifties are enjoying it more.

“The fact that over half of those quizzed said they had better sex now than in their 20s and 30s suggests that these women are more confident and self-assured than they were in their younger days and aren’t afraid of getting what they want.”

This is good news for older women, and better news for me, who has been sitting on this blog title for three weeks.
