Lynn's Comments: Our dog, Willy, loved to chase squirrels. He lived for a good squirrel chase and of course he never caught one. Sometimes I think the squirrels were in on the game because they seemed to taunt him at the windows, and when we let him out, they would wait until he was close enough to get his hopes up and then disappear into a tree. It was good exercise for all and nobody got hurt.

Lynn's Comments: When the pregnancy story was coming to an end, friends of mine decided to throw a surprise baby shower for my "imaginary baby." I was spirited away from the house long enough for them to cover the front lawn with flamingos and a big stork carrying a baby in a bundle. When I went inside, there was a party all set up with gag gifts, munchies and an open bar. It was a great success. The funny thing is…I never had a baby shower for either of my REAL kids!!

Lynn's Comments: I omitted the top of the first 3 panels here just to see if it would make a nice change to the look of the strip. I think it did. It was around this time that I started to white out borders and let parts of the illustration extend outside the line. I’ve never been one to keep things the same; another reason why the characters "grew up."

Lynn's Comments: Situations like this really date the strip. Nobody uses an encyclopedia any more. In fact, I still spell the word the way I learned to spell it in the 50s—encyclopaedia.

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!
