Lynn's Comments: My babysitting chops were earned next door, where I looked after 4 little girls who were determined to see me lose my cool. I learned how to win with dignity, and I not only earned a good job reference, but I also learned a bit about parenting!

Lynn's Comments: I think this subject must come up in most households. If it's not your child who wants a motorcycle... it's your husband! I now have a couple of women friends who ride, and I have to say...I can see why it's such a romantic way to travel.

Lynn's Comments: I think worrying IS part of a parent's job. I have adult children now...and I still worry!

Lynn's Comments: I loved drawing Elizabeth's face in the last panel. Here I stretched the character's face into an impossible laugh. It’s not physically accurate–but it feels right. Later, when my drawing became more "realistic" I lost this wonderful elasticity.

Lynn's Comments: My mother was understanding enough to know that I wanted to be dropped off away from the mall or the theatre so my friends would think I'd come by bus or had walked to town. Now, that's a cool mom.

Lynn's Comments: There never was a "Martha" in my son's life even though readers were sure there was. I gave this character the name "Martha" for a friend whose life was in shambles at the time. It was a way of giving her a gift and she enjoyed it very much.

Lynn's Comments: I didn't have swollen feet when I was pregnant, but many of my friends did. I got letters from readers who used these strips to explain how they were feeling to folks who didn't understand.

Lynn's Comments: Elly in the last panel was fun to draw. I wanted to show exactly what it feels like to be in the 9th month of pregnancy and I think this did the trick!

Lynn's Comments: Things sure have changed since we all had land lines. I'm glad my kids were grown and on their own before the conundrum of "who gets a cell phone" was a bone of contention!

Lynn's Comments: I was royally criticized for showing Gordon having a "hormone attack." It was apparently too suggestive to be seen on the comics page.

Lynn's Comments: Somebody once said that it wasn’t possible for men and women to be good friends without any "love complications" – just friends. Well, I "deg to biffer." I had some wonderful male friends in grade school, art school, workmates and beyond. The thing is to make sure your eventual life partner is also a very good friend!

Lynn's Comments: This final panel really shows what it feels like to be pregnant, and because of it many people thought I actually was!
