Remembering Farley: Browse The Strips

Sunday March 25, 2018

Lynn's Comments: Anyone who owns a large, hairy dog will see themselves in this Sunday page. The first folks to come up with the idea of a pet grooming business, really knew what they were doing!

Lynn's Comments: This is the beginning of a true story: something that happened to our little black Spaniel, Willy.

Lynn's Comments: I waited in the clinic like a worried parent. (Here the story was about the imaginary Farley.) Our little spaniel was limping and fretful, but amazingly happy and easy to manage.

Lynn's Comments: What had happened was exactly this. The kids had been attaching streamers and other things to the dog’s legs using elastic bands. They had forgotten to take one of them off and the elastic worked its way down to the bone!

Doctors and veterinarians must think they've seen it all and then something like this comes along. We all felt so badly. The elastic was completely invisible in the dog’s thick fur. We had no idea what was hurting him.

Lynn's Comments: My dog Farley did lie in and roll on my freshly planted flower beds. I was so angry with him. Then I thought about how hot he was and how cool it would have felt to lie on a nice bed of freshly turned earth with soft plants. I understood what he’d done was innocent and for a reason. But I was still really angry with him.

Lynn's Comments: There were a lot of frogs in our old neighbourhood. You knew it was spring when you could hear them in the wetlands near our house. Our dog never went looking for them with this kind of enthusiasm…he was too smart. The kids, however, did.

Lynn's Comments: You can't do strips about a dog if you've never had a dog. It’s just not possible. Farley was a load of work, but he provided me with a load of laughs!

Lynn's Comments: An Old English Sheepdog owner knows how much work these dogs are. Farley was a walking, woofing cartoon. Just looking at him made all the work worthwhile.

Lynn's Comments: Farley was so much fun to draw. I must have said this before…and here I am saying it again. If I had a favourite cartoon character, Farley was it.
