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: When this story originally appeared, my friend Charles Schulz was furious. He couldn't believe that Farley had been allowed to die. He called me and said, "That stupid little girl! What was she doing down at the river in the first place? That stupid little girl!" He actually blamed April and not me!

Lynn's Comments: Some readers made fun of this idea—that Farley lived on in a spiritual form...but others were comforted by this Sunday page. The death of the Patterson family dog was an emotional story and I wanted it to end on a positive note.

Lynn's Comments: Because it was such a dramatic story, I felt I had to mention Farley’s death again. Some readers thought it was a dumb idea to insert Farley’s face into the branches of the tree here, but others really appreciated the gesture. No matter what I wrote or drew, there was always a difference of opinion!
