April: Browse The Strips

Lynn's Comments: My dad did this. He would pop his teeth out and make faces. It drove my mom crazy. At work, he'd keep his teeth in his breast pocket. One day, he fell against the counter when a customer came into his shop and he accidentally "bit himself" on the chest. We laughed about this for weeks.

Lynn's Comments: My brother produced the dime in a few days, and after my mom washed it off, we saw that it had turned blue. The chemicals in Al's stomach had coloured the dime blue! He was so excited about this that as soon as he could find another dime...he swallowed it!

Lynn's Comments: This was MY dad! He could make up anything on the spot, and the way he read stories was hilarious. When my own kids were little, I turned stories around and made stuff up and the kids loved it. I'd learned from the best.

Lynn's Comments: My daughter liked to empty the kitchen cupboards and climb into them. She especially loved the Lazy Susan. She would lie on the bottom shelf and roll the unit around with her feet: her own private carousel.

Lynn's Comments: We lived in the country. One day a mink got into my kitchen. He stood there looking at me—almost daring me to do something about him. I live trapped the little guy, thought I'd closed his way in, and let him go. Next day he was back in my kitchen, and I was sure he was grinning at me.

Lynn's Comments: Ahhhh...I see here that I drew the wrong door in the background. The door you see at the end of the hallway, belonged at the back of the house. The front door had a different window. Some errors I haven't noticed until now!

Lynn's Comments: Having "kid-isms" to work with made writing for April a lot of fun. Many of these words came straight from home. Some came from friends, but most of them I just made up.
