Lynn's Comments: I couldn't have drawn panel 2 if I hadn't felt the pain. Drawing images like this was (and is) an effective form of psychotherapy for me.
Lynn's Comments: In a situation like this, I'd find a way to have half an hour to myself so I could stand in a hot shower and pray for relief. This is the one time when a "let down" is a very positive thing!
Lynn's Comments: This reminds me of a story. My friend Mike Peters, who does the wonderful comic strip "Mother Goose and Grimm," told me that his daughter once left her lunch at home and he decided to take it to the school himself. Knowing she'd be thoroughly embarrassed to see him at the door of her classroom with her lunch in hand...he dressed as Superman. He burst into her class holding out the lunch, cape flying, and shouting, "Superman to the rescue!!" She was speechless...and will tell you today that it was one of the craziest things that had ever happened to her. Needless to say, his daughter never forgot her lunch again!
