Elly: Browse The Strips

Lynn's Comments: This is word-for-word from an experience I had while working on animated shows. I got a taxi to the animation studio and met this incredible young man whose outlook on life really resonated with me. Sometime later, a friend, whose life was very up and down, was going through a hard time so I wanted to give her some original art as a gift. I asked which strip she would like and she chose this one.

Lynn's Comments: After this strip ran, I was sent a set of video game gloves meant to keep your wrists and thumbs from getting sore from poking away at a game controller. I couldn’t believe someone had actually patented and marketed such a thing. It’s a crazy new world!

Lynn's Comments: I mentioned before that Miss Enjo was my grade school home economics teacher. As a speaker one year for "Unique Lives & Experiences," I appeared at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver and the real Miss Enjo was in the audience. I was delighted to see her after the show. Not only did she read my strip, she remembered me—and she gave me a kimono, which I treasure. She also explained that "Enjo" was not a common Japanese name. She thought it had been changed by the Canadian border staff because her family's original name was difficult to pronounce. She was a great teacher and seeing her again was wonderful.

Lynn's Comments: If you aren't familiar with the old brassiere ad that described their product by saying, "it lifts and separates," then you'll miss this punch line. It was a controversial TV advertisement at the time and it spawned a lot of great comedy.

Lynn's Comments: This idea meant that I had to figure out how to add to a make-believe house. Architecturally, this posed a real dilemma. The layout of the house didn’t make sense as it was, so creating an addition was going to be a challenge.

Lynn's Comments: This also happened. My son decided to see how far a spool of dental floss would go. He strung the stairwell and the hallway and even the kitchen before he ran out of floss. I would have been angry, but it’s hard to give serious discipline when you’re laughing!
