\"Lynn<\/p>\n

Photo credit: Bruce Guthrie<\/em><\/p>\n

Greg Evans recently sent us this great photo of him and Lynn, taken at this summer’s San Diego Comic Con. We asked Lynn about their friendship:<\/p>\n

Greg Evans and I have known each other for almost 35 years. Since we were both doing family comic strips, we had an immediate connection — and since any rivalry was between the syndicates and not between us, we became good friends as well. I was always intrigued by Greg’s ability to see so clearly through the eyes of a teenage girl, but his close relationship with his wife Betty (whom he has known since college) is part of his amazing skill.<\/p>\n

Luann, Greg’s signature character, remained the same age for many years, but the pending maturity of his artist daughter, Karen, might have encouraged him to allow Luann to mature a bit, too. Karen now works with Greg on the strip, which is great fun for both of them. Greg is a prolific cartoonist with many other creative skills. He has also written, produced, and directed a “Luann” musical comedy. Our recent re-connection at Comic Con was a real treat. Now that I too live on the west coast, I hope we can get together more often!<\/p>\n

A little about Greg and Greg’s strip:<\/p>\n

LUANN<\/a> is about the trials of becoming a young adult: the hilarity and drama, triumphs and flops, friendships and rivalries. Rich in character and intriguing “what’ll happen next?!” stories, LUANN is a compelling saga of life’s most volatile stage. Greg Evans was voted Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year in 2003 by the National Cartoonists Society<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
