Michael: Browse The Strips

Lynn's Comments: My grandfather used to say the longest grace when we were all sitting in front of a holiday meal—hungry and desperate to begin. Because he never went to church and rarely talked about the bible, we were sure he did it for the fun of making us wait.

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: It's hard to draw something like a freeway in a comic strip. There just isn't enough room. When this cartoon was done, the papers were shrinking the size that comics were printed so these images had to be drawn on an angle in order to make them work.

Lynn's Comments: After this strip ran, I was sent a set of video game gloves meant to keep your wrists and thumbs from getting sore from poking away at a game controller. I couldn’t believe someone had actually patented and marketed such a thing. It’s a crazy new world!

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.
