I just wanted to tell you that I personally love the story line of Liz and Anthony and can't wait to see the outcome. As a single person, I can see exactly how this storyline could happen in real-life. I've had friends that have reconnected with that "first love" later in life. Timing is everything and I believe Liz and Anthony have followed different paths that have led them back to each other when both were ready to commit. The experiences they've had had made them who they are and ready for each other.

So bring on the wedding already!!!

I am really getting tired of the old strips being re-run. I want to see current events; April going off to vet school, Liz and Anthony finally getting it together and getting married, Robin FINALLY being able to stand up to Meredith and put her in her place (she is such a brat).

No more old strips, PLEASE.

I really wouldn't mind seeing the old strips, but they aren't really telling a story. This week we have jumped from Mike teasing Liz (which seemed to be the setup from Saturday) to Liz with a potty on her head, Mike likes dirt, Mike doesn't like baths, to God knows what tomorrow.
When you announced that old strips would be incorporated I thought you would use them to reflect what was happening in the current strip. I think a great example would be as Anthony and Liz get engaged later this month, we could take a loving look back at how they broke up in the first place; how they didn't really seem to be in it for the long haul, but now suddenly are soulmates. Can't wait to see it!

Hello Lynn, I love your comic strip. I really like the older strips mixed in with new ones. Seeing Michael as a young boy and the young man he is now is so great. It is so neat how much he look like his Grandpa Jim. I'll never forget about Elizabeth walking in the rain with her umbrella and not a stich of clothing on. I laughed till I cried.

I don't see how Liz and Anthony emotionally cheated on Therese. Anthony was devestated by the challenges in his marrage and like a lot of men didn't have a lot of friends. Especially in a marriage like his a wife can control the social life and leave him very few options to be himself and vent. We saw him turn to a long time friend and she did everything possible to put the necessary space between them. Including leaving a New Year's Eve Party she helped plan so his wife wouldn't be upset.

Liz is a mature woman who has been raised by strong loving parents. She has had relationships that were good and bad and she has learned from them. The Paul thing was unfortunate and she knew she was asking a lot but she needed to move and be closer to her family. Of course she was angry and that was the window we saw but there is reason to believe she had good talks with her friends and parents and came to terms with her involvement in the break up.

I always saw the type of friendship between Liz and Anthony that good marriages are made of. They were too young when they were first together and everyone needs to be on their own in college but they had that foundation. I have enjoyed reading about the complications involved in being with someone with "baggage" even when it is an adorable child. Lynn's personal experiance with blending a family is allowing her to write this with sensitivity.

One last thought, Lynn once wrote of Anthony that he was the type of guy everyone overlooks in school then sees that the reunion and can't believe they didn't grab him when they had the chance. I would love to see Liz be the lucky lady to get the catch now that they are ready for each other.

I am 35 and have been married almost 8 years, but before that I :WAS: Liz. Love is complicated and rarely easy. Somethings about love should be easy, but sustaining a relationship is difficult. It's a little true that "if you can't love the one you want, love the one your with." I know that Anthony and Elizabeth will have many stuggles in the future, it will not be easy, but I also believe that there is a special kind of love that happens and continues through time and space when you love young. I am thrilled that Anthony and Liz have found each other again and I hope that Francie will have a brother or sister (or several). We were not created to be alone, even though sometimes it works out that way.
