John: Browse The Strips

Sunday January 2, 2022

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: It is so important to get timing in a daily just right. In a graphic novel, you have so much more freedom, but in a comic strip, there is only so much real estate. I had to divide this one into five panels to get the timing right.

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.
