Lynn's Comments: This punch line is much like the ending I gave to the Mother's Day Sunday page. Just goes to show you two things:
1) I never checked to see what I'd done on Mother's Day, and
2) When you're on a deadline, you'll sometimes take the first idea that comes into your head and draw it up. This must have been one of those first ideas!

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: This is a bit of foreshadowing...the suggestion that Michael's career might be in journalism.

Lynn's Comments: This strip was done for the joy of drawing Elly eating watermelon. Personally, I've never liked watermelon at all!

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.
