Lynn's Comments: When "dressing" my characters, I often looked in mail order catalogues to see what was currently fashionable. The dress Elizabeth is wearing in this Sunday page was from the "evening" section of the Sears catalogue. Now, I'd be doing my research online!
Lynn's Comments: This was so much fun to draw. Having April become part of the strip gave me material and imagery that kept my work alive and interesting—for me as well as my readers!
Lynn's Comments: When I was about three years old, my aunt had given me a pair of very frilly under pants. The entire backside was ruffled, and I was thrilled with them. So much so that I went around the neighbourhood lifting my skirt to show them off. I didn't understand why my dad was so upset or why he made me come home and put on a pair of overalls.
Lynn's Comments: I draw stuff like this, I make these faces myself. After a day of drawing crazy expressions, I often wondered why my head and neck felt tired!
Lynn's Comments: My dad smoked until the day he died—of lung cancer. To keep us from knowing he was smoking, he'd go for a walk. This was funny...we could see him light up before he got past the kitchen window.
