Lynn's Comments: My first movie date was with Terry Manning. Terry lived on 4th Street, just a fast walk down the lane from my house on 5th. We went to see "Tarzan" with Johnny Weissmuller. We were in grade 4.
Lynn's Comments: The story lines about high school crushes attracted in a whole group of new teenage readers who stuck around for the soap opera drama. You might be one of those people!
Lynn's Comments: Around this time, I began to work with another graphic artist. Laura could easily duplicate my style, so with more time to do background details, the art soon became much more complicated. I would draw the strip in pencil, ink the characters, and give her the rest to do. Up until I retired from the strip, Laura became another right hand!
Lynn's Comments: There's a song in "A Chorus Line" where one of the dancers talks about a teacher who was cruel and menacing, and when he died, she felt nothing. This line just seared into my brain because it is so profound. How can a person you have loved to distraction become someone for whom you feel nothing? It's hard to imagine when you are in the throes of romance that you might, one day, feel nothing at all.
