Lynn's Comments: It drove me crazy when my dad stirred his coffee like this. He also sipped with audible slurps—unaware of how awful it sounded. Dad has been gone for long time, now. I wish I could hear him stir his coffee again.

Lynn's Comments: I had so much fun drawing the baby and the dog. I almost used them too much.

Lynn's Comments: The first snowfall each year in Lynn Lake, Manitoba came with very low temperatures. I had never in my life experienced such cold. We bundled ourselves up in parkas, snow pants, hats and scarves, and the way we (friends and family) recognized each other was by the clothes we wore, the way we walked and where we were going!

Lynn's Comments: My husband was a serious model railroader. After a while, I understood the vocabulary and the methods for creating good tracks and dioramas, but I never understood the passion.

Lynn's Comments: I got a letter telling me I should have written "whomever" in the first panel. Maybe that's grammatically correct, but...it’s just not the way we actually talk!

Lynn's Comments: This comment was from an encounter I had with one of the people I met at "Wheelchair Rugby." I learned that it's rude for an able-bodied person to lean or sit on a wheelchair while talking to the occupant because the chair is effectively part of the user's body. I also learned that sitting down to talk to someone who is in a chair is a sign of respect and consideration. These are things I should have known instinctively, but did not. This was a wonderful education!

Lynn's Comments: Looking at this, I have to smile. I used to worry about my kids going out on their own at night. Now, at 72 and not keen to drive when it's the dark, my kids worry about me!

Lynn's Comments: If you're a fan of Jim Unger's "Herman," look at John's profile in panel 8. Doesn’t it look like it was drawn by Jim Unger? I loved the way he drew a non-expression like this. Guess the admiration rubbed off!

Lynn's Comments: Miss Edwards' character gave me the opportunity to talk to and seek out the advice of people who used a wheelchair. It was a wonderful education!

Lynn's Comments: This was a segue into the introduction of the teacher in a wheelchair. I had wanted to show someone in a chair for a while, but didn’t know how or when to do it. Strange, since we all know someone who is disabled. Miss Edwards became a favourite character, but again, I had little space in which to feature one of Elizabeth's teachers.

Lynn's Comments: This is where I used alliteration as a punch line. When writing a short story, I had to produce some daily "wit" even if there was nothing to hang it on. "I think they're all creepth!!"—"I think they’re all curious." I tied up the 4 panels as best I could with these almost rhyming comments.
