Lynn's Comments: The Patterson house overlooks a sizeable ravine. At the bottom is a river which, due to the spring rain, has become deep and dangerous.

Lynn's Comments: I was roundly criticized for showing April down at the river unsupervised...but these things happen—even when families are vigilant and responsible.

Lynn's Comments: This illustration was hard to draw. I was very emotional when I did it. I could see the outcome immediately, but readers had to wait for 24 hours to find out what happened next.

Lynn's Comments: I had written and drawn this episode eight weeks before it appeared in the paper. Even so, it was a bit of a rollercoaster for me to see it unfold in the paper day by day.

Lynn's Comments: Tragically, the day this strip was originally published was also the date of the Oklahoma bombing. There was no way to halt or change this story and it ran at a time when North America was in shock and people's hearts were breaking.

Lynn's Comments: On one hand, this story was running at the worst time possible. On the other hand, teachers in Edmonton were using it to teach young children about the dangers of playing in the local creeks—so dangerous in springtime.

Lynn's Comments: Some readers made fun of this idea—that Farley lived on in a spiritual form...but others were comforted by this Sunday page. The death of the Patterson family dog was an emotional story and I wanted it to end on a positive note.
