John: Browse The Strips

Sunday August 5, 2018

Lynn's Comments: If you can come up with a strip that has no words, it’s a real plus. With the right subject, the right imagery, facial expressions and timing, a joke with no words is as much fun for the artist to work through as it is for the reader. Strips with no dialogue need no translation and can be published anywhere. This style of comic strip is not easy to do. Artists who consistently produce wordless, beautifully constructed comic strips have always had my sincere admiration. Canada’s Doug Wright was one of these.

Lynn's Comments: My mother had a garbage philosophy: "Put one human being in a house for one hour and there will be garbage." I think she was right.

Lynn's Comments: I got into some trouble with this idea. Too many kids decided to make superteddys. I liked the storyline, but the readers did not! Super Teddy had a very short-lived run (or flight!)

Lynn's Comments: You can't do strips about a dog if you've never had a dog. It’s just not possible. Farley was a load of work, but he provided me with a load of laughs!

Lynn's Comments: Stuff that really happened was fun to write about and comforting to share. When this strip appeared, I got mail from folks who said that what happened in our bedroom, happened in theirs, too.

Lynn's Comments: Did I ever get into hot water over this one! Clinic staff wrote to say that it was a terrible thing to write notes in patients’ files suggesting they were difficult to work with and that PITN should never have been used. Well, we did write small notations like this just for our own information…and, the letters were: PITA!

Lynn's Comments: I divided my front yard into these different “lands” and made my friends go from one end to the other, jumping, rolling, dancing and so on. I was the only one who knew which “land” they were landing on, but that didn't seem to matter. We were all about 6, I guess, it was a sunny day and we didn't have TV.
