Lynn's Comments: More than once I’ve been told by a doc that my problems were psychosomatic. Later, I was lucky to find a neurologist who told me my symptoms were real; that I did indeed have something serious. I always wondered if I’d have been so easily brushed off if I was a man!

Lynn's Comments: Being able to say what I said in the last panel was a break through. Up until this time, cartoonists were prohibited from talking about body functions or to even show a husband and wife in bed together. As long as we were careful in the way we worded our lines, the editors gave us all quite a free range.

Lynn's Comments: The line I wanted to “ring out” here wasn’t the punch line at the end, it was in panel two: Am I in love or in need? I wrestled with that question when I was a single mom and dating. I wanted desperately to have a partner; someone in my life. It would have been so easy to settle for the wrong person because I was so lonely.

Lynn's Comments: Action was the hardest to draw. I wanted to put the “camera” in different positions, different angles, so that the motion was exaggerated. Believe it or not, I used photographs of football players in action to get these poses. It was worth the effort.

Lynn's Comments: My friend Cecily is a talented doll maker. When she wrote, illustrated and published a children’s book, I showcased it in the strip. I have known Cecily since we worked shoulder-to-shoulder together in an animation studio in Vancouver. We were both in our 20s and newly married. With much in common, we became great friends. Time and serendipity separated us and then brought us back together again 30 years later when I put her name in the paper. Her cousin saw the strip and connected us again. Within days, we arranged to meet and did so in a tearful, happy reunion at the Seattle airport. Cecily was working on this book at the time. We are still in touch and still good friends.

Lynn's Comments: This scenario is based on an incident of my own. I was driving back to Vancouver from the interior of the province—determined to get home in one day. I tried to rest my eyes but I fell asleep and I actually dreamed I was driving. I woke up when my wheels hit the gravel on the shoulder. It was a very close call!
