Got my Farley dog 10 minutes ago.....awwwww....SO cute! Now I wish I'd bought one for myself - and if the grand children (not biologically related) in my life aren't careful, I'll be re-homing him onto my bed! Thanks for holding tough and making a quality product.

I found today's strip very touching. The innocence of a child who wishes he could make his mom's illness go away by magic. Kids can make us feel so valued!

One day, my son was staring at me and giggling. When I asked him what the matter was, he just said "You're beautiful". It made my day, I won't ever forget it :)

In response to Barb's inquiry, about the "dots" occasionally showing up over the character's heads; I believe these are little "outbursts", meant to enhance an emotion such as surprise or anger. I notice they only appear if the character is displaying a strong emotion in a given panel. That is my take on it.

Love everything about the strip, and thank you, Lynn, for many years of pleasure! Today's strip shows Elly driving with Michael in the front seat. That may send the wrong message to young mums, as here in the US children must be in a carseat in the back seat until they are above 4'9". We lost a grandchild a few years ago, so maybe I'm overly sensitive - if so, I'm sorry. On the other hand, you may underestimate your influence. :) Thanks.

Today must be an older strip. Michael is sitting in the front seat. Drawn before we were warned to keep kids in the back?
I love following on line. Our local paper leaves out the first 2 panels of Sunday's strip.

Today's comic of Elly driving Michael in the car is sweet, but isn't it dangerous to have a 5 year old in the front seat, when they should be in the back seat. The last strip Elly hugs Michael while she is driving. Not only is it dangerous, it can cause an accident. Also, they show bucket seats earlier, but in the last strip it looks like a bench seat. Hope Michael doesn't get sick from Elly's illness.

Lee in LA, what a wonderful idea. (No, I'm not being sarcastic.) It's the perfect way to teach an animal not to touch something, a lot easier than following him around all the time or (as I have actually read in a how-to-teach-your-dog book) tying him to your belt so he can't leave your sight. Passive lessons such as this one are usually the best for animals, though an added swat on the butt is sometimes useful as well.

I love going back to the past. The ones running now I don't remember (I'm sure I was just a tot then lol) so seeing how the family formed over the years is very entertaining.
