Lynn's Comments: Readers criticized April’s “kidspeak” and told me to make her use proper English. I thought it would detract from a child’s charming way of learning the language. As long as my editors were OK with the content of the strip, I left it alone. One can suffer from too much advice!

Lynn's Comments: At the time this strip was written, our daughter was going to Western University in London, Ontario. Folks in both Western U. and the city of London enjoyed these references in the strip.

Lynn's Comments: Go to YouTube and search for “I’m Five” by Danny Kaye. When I turned five, even though I was a girl, that was my song! Don’t underestimate the memory of a five-year-old. This one has lasted for over 70 years!

Lynn's Comments: I once watched my aunt’s German Shepherd swallow an entire can of dog food in one gulp. To slow him down, I gave him his next meal in tiny chunks. This he also managed to knock back in one gulp. I wondered why the rush…until I took a whiff of the stuff. I wouldn’t have wanted to taste it either!

Lynn's Comments: Our dog, Willy, stayed at a great kennel. The owners often kept the easy-going animals in their house with them, so Willy’s stay was a lot of fun. They had kennels, of course, in their “dogominium,” and their feline guests stayed in the “kitty-condo.” It was quite the comfy place.

Lynn's Comments: When writing for the strip, I looked at every word in the dialogue hoping to find something on which to build a punch line. Here, the word “pretty,” used in everyday speech, was something I thought I could work with. This isn’t the best gag, but it gives you an idea how some ideas evolve.
