The title character was an everyman who struggled through life and politics. He had an alter-ego, Politically Correct Person (P.C. Person), who was a stereotype of sensitive liberals who fear offending people. Other characters were Tripp, Thatch's womanizing, obnoxious roommate; Kate, editor of the college paper; and Sloane, a "heartless, shallow rich bitch," as described by the cartoonist in the strip's first and only book collection.[1]
In 1998, Shesol was offered a position as speech writer for the President of the United StatesBill Clinton.[2] Shesol agreed and ended the strip. The final Thatch appeared on April 11, 1998.
