April: Browse The Strips

Lynn's Comments: I had a Sunday school teacher who had so many hairs on her chin that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else. I kept thinking, “Why doesn’t she shave them off?” I thought she looked like a character in one of Len Norris’ cartoons! I was already paying serious attention to comic art when I was in elementary school.

Lynn's Comments: In kindergarten, I turned a hide and seek game into a bit of chaos by taking off all my clothes in the closet where I was hiding. The teacher was not amused and expelled me from her class. I remember my mom accepting the news with resignation. I guess this had been “the last straw.”

Lynn's Comments: We had a neighbour in Lynn Lake who had three boys. Their dog was used to all kinds of crazy treatment. One of the things the youngest did was straddle the dog like a motorcycle and make engine sounds while twisting his ears as if he was turning the throttle. Amazingly, the dog was perfectly fine with this!

Lynn's Comments: One of the funniest projects my daughter was asked to participate in was a vegetable art show. What you see in this drawing cannot compare with the wonderful “sculptures” her grade 3 class made. As a cartoonist, I had the best time just wandering around the exhibits. I couldn’t laugh out loud, but my smile must have been audible!

Lynn's Comments: I once invited a little friend for dinner—without first asking my mom. Mom was a generous person so I couldn’t understand why she was angry with me. I had no idea that we couldn’t afford to share the 4 pork chops she’d planned to cook, so she made was a “stew” out of them. I never did that again.
