Lynn's Comments: This punch line became a title for one of the books. Whenever we released a collection, I’d go thorough the strips that would be included and find a good comment to use on the cover.

Lynn's Comments: We had a neighbour in Lynn Lake who had three boys. Their dog was used to all kinds of crazy treatment. One of the things the youngest did was straddle the dog like a motorcycle and make engine sounds while twisting his ears as if he was turning the throttle. Amazingly, the dog was perfectly fine with this!
