Lynn's Comments: Without planning for the future of these characters, I was setting April up to be a veterinarian; something she became after the strip ended. Yes...they all lived happily ever after—even if it's just in my imagination.

Lynn's Comments: In order to do these strips with some confidence, I went to a breeder and asked if I could see some brand new puppies. They were kind enough to take me to see a new mom with her babies. I was shocked to see how tiny they were. How quickly we forget!

Lynn's Comments: This illustration was hard to draw. I was very emotional when I did it. I could see the outcome immediately, but readers had to wait for 24 hours to find out what happened next.

Lynn's Comments: Tragically, the day this strip was originally published was also the date of the Oklahoma bombing. There was no way to halt or change this story and it ran at a time when North America was in shock and people's hearts were breaking.

Lynn's Comments: On one hand, this story was running at the worst time possible. On the other hand, teachers in Edmonton were using it to teach young children about the dangers of playing in the local creeks—so dangerous in springtime.

Lynn's Comments: My dad was a watchmaker. One of our favourite stories was "The Noisy Clock Shop" by Jean Horton Berg. I recently found it again in a second hand shop— an original "Wonder Book!" Mr. Winky was the main character. I got the title of the book wrong here, but I sure remembered the story!
