Lynn's Comments: Readers criticized April’s “kidspeak” and told me to make her use proper English. I thought it would detract from a child’s charming way of learning the language. As long as my editors were OK with the content of the strip, I left it alone. One can suffer from too much advice!

Lynn's Comments: At the time this strip was written, our daughter was going to Western University in London, Ontario. Folks in both Western U. and the city of London enjoyed these references in the strip.

Lynn's Comments: Go to YouTube and search for “I’m Five” by Danny Kaye. When I turned five, even though I was a girl, that was my song! Don’t underestimate the memory of a five-year-old. This one has lasted for over 70 years!
