Lynn Addresses the Rumours of Her Retirement
Posted: August 2, 2007 | News Bites Home

Lynn penned the following note to explain to newspaper editors that she will not, in fact, be retiring FBorFW in the fall. Please read on for more details.

Dear Editor:

Never did I suspect it would come to this. I have the honour of sharing a distinct complaint with Mark Twain, that rumours of my demise are being greatly exaggerated!

I announced in several interviews earlier this year that I would not be retiring and that For Better or For Worse would continue in a "hybrid" form.

But rumours to the contrary continue to fly, and I'd like to take a moment to put them to rest.

My vision for the hybrid cartoon is to move forward beginning this fall by mixing together new plots with remembrances of the Patterson family's history. For instance, readers will see Michael and his children as they are today, and also Michael and his parents as they were when the strip began.

So the strip will not end. I intend to keep the Patterson family around for many years to come.

Thank you for your continued support of For Better or For Worse.
