Lynn's Comments: "Because elephants have flat feet" was our standard answer when questions became too numerous and too silly. Eventually the kids asked about elephants and why DID they have flat feet? This meant researching elephants...and finding a new quip!

Lynn's Comments: Here is where the "inflatable nose"” is evident. Whenever I wanted to show Elly at her worst, I drew her nose larger. I didn't do this intentionally; it's what came out of my pen! Since much of the strip was based on real life, I've always been grateful that my nose remains the same size—no matter what I'm thinking.

Lynn's Comments: When I later came up with the "rescue" storyline where Elizabeth is threatened by a co-worker at the garden centre where she is working, I had forgotten about this bit of foreshadowing. People criticized me for keeping all the characters in play this way, but I also wanted to avoid having too many new characters as well. You can't win!
