road: Browse The Strips

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: 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: Arnold Roth is a well-known cartoonist who is often featured in the New Yorker magazine. He plays the clarinet and has been known to play with a group called "Codpiece." I thought he’d have fun seeing his name in the paper. He did!

Lynn's Comments: Dad explained why there had to be a hike in bus fares. They were raising wages, extending the service, and it would benefit seniors, as well, by allowing them to ride for free. He asked me if I knew what "boycott" meant. I had no idea. I felt like an idiot—and I was!

Lynn's Comments: For this illustration, I used a really good die-cast model, which showed the underbody of the car. I used realistic models—of all kinds—all the time, and I encourage cartoonists and other graphic artists to buy them whenever they have the good fortune to find them.

Lynn's Comments: The officer who knocked was about my dad's age but obviously used to dealing with amorous kids. We were grateful to be allowed to go home with nothing more than our supreme embarrassment.
