Suddenly Silver: Browse The Strips

Saturday October 2, 2021

Lynn's Comments: Gordon did not have a happy home life. Everyone else's problems seemed trivial to him. His dad was abusive and his mother, complacent. It was up to Gordon to decide for himself how to navigate this pressure-filled world. Many young readers identified with him.

Lynn's Comments: When Gordon was roped into taking Tracey to the dance, I'd planned for them to become great friends—which is the best way to begin a romantic relationship. At the time, I had not envisioned their eventual marriage.

Lynn's Comments: I’ve written at great length about this story so I think I will let the work speak for itself. If you wish to learn more, I encourage you to read my 15th and 20th anniversary collections.

Lynn's Comments: This story ran for a couple of weeks. Each daily strip stood on its own for 24 hours, which meant that the story ran quite slowly–especially if you were not in favour of it. When you read this in a book, the story is perhaps too fast, but in the papers, it seemed to go on forever.

Lynn's Comments: More and more, Gordon's life and philosophy was based on a neighbour who owned a small auto body and repair shop. Gerry was honest and kind and so good at his job. It was a privilege to know him, and a pleasure to have him work on our vehicles. The time I spent at Gerry's Garage is reflected in the stories I told about Gordon Mayes.
