Lynn's Comments: I’m looking at this again as someone they now call “elderly.” (Aaaaughhhh!) I was in my 40s when I did this strip, and from my present vantage point, I can’t imagine what these ladies are grousing about.

Lynn's Comments: In high school, I was a bit jealous of my friend Laurel who got a summer job working at a popular ice cream joint. One day I told her I wished I had her job. When she told me how hard it was to stand all day and dig hard ice cream out of the tubs for demanding and impatient people, I changed my tune!

Lynn's Comments: I tried to explore the complexities of having a “best friend” and friendships in general. This is another area I could have worked with a bit more but time and space were limited. Drawing new characters was also a challenge—I used photos from magazines to help me come up with new faces.

Lynn's Comments: This was a bit of a problem in our house. As a dental wife, I was expected to be able to fill in for an assistant if necessary. And since we had a mobile clinic, I was often with the staff when everyone went into the northern First Nations villages to provide dental care. With all the knowledge I picked up, I was able to ask certain questions and give some advice. My husband wasn’t too happy about this—in case I made a mistake. I never did try to be the physician in the family, but if I knew the answer to a problem and the dentist wasn’t available, it was hard not to put in my two cents worth!

Lynn's Comments: Candace was a complicated character, and if I’d had enough time and space, I’d have been able to explore her personality and her home life. I hoped readers would see her as one of the bright but troubled kids in Elizabeth’s crowd; someone who needed some extra understanding.

Lynn's Comments: As a teenager, this was me. If my hair wasn’t right, my day wasn’t either. “Bad hair day” was a phrase coined in my time—and it was serious. One day, I even faked an illness and stayed home from school because of bad hair. I confess, I haven’t changed much. Oh, physically I’m 78…but hair-wise…I’m still 16.
