Lynn's Comments: The idea for this cartoon was "given to me" by a man who was trying to cap off a water system that was being installed in a friend's inground swimming pool. When he reached up to stop the water coming from a pipe, it gushed down his arm and through his waterproof suit onto the ground—soaking him from head to toe.

Lynn's Comments: The Patterson house overlooks a sizeable ravine. At the bottom is a river which, due to the spring rain, has become deep and dangerous.

Lynn's Comments: I was roundly criticized for showing April down at the river unsupervised...but these things happen—even when families are vigilant and responsible.

Lynn's Comments: Farley left the comic strip at a ripe old age and as a hero. It was a fitting end to a great character.

Lynn's Comments: Because some papers only carried the colour Sunday page, the story of Farley's passing had to happen, almost separately, on the Sunday page as well. This meant having to craft dialogue that covered all of the important points without going into the details of the story. For the papers that carried both the daily and the Sunday page, it was important to show a reasonable flow of information without writing too much! Normally, I didn't continue a storyline into the weekend because of this conundrum, but in this case, I had no choice. Readers who only had access to the Sunday page needed to know what had happened during the week.

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: I always enjoyed putting Ruth, my mom-in-law, in the strip. (Her second name was Carrie.) I tried to get a good likeness and used photographs until I could draw her fairly well. She was my right and left hand when the kids were small. I was so lucky to have had her in my life.

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.
