The lives and times of the Pattersons often mirror ours. Through Lynn's storytelling and art, the Patterson family's adventures, routines and surprises are shared worldwide. Because of the level of detail included in the strip and the widespread audience it reaches, it is important for Lynn that her comics be as true-to-life and as accurate in their details as possible. So, Lynn does a lot of R&D! Research and development forms a large part of the production of the strip - here we've shared some of our notes and photographs with you!
