street: Browse The Strips

Sunday January 2, 2022

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: I’ve written at great length about this story so I think I will let the work speak for itself. If you wish to learn more, I encourage you to read my 15th and 20th anniversary collections.

Lynn's Comments: This story ran for a couple of weeks. Each daily strip stood on its own for 24 hours, which meant that the story ran quite slowly–especially if you were not in favour of it. When you read this in a book, the story is perhaps too fast, but in the papers, it seemed to go on forever.

Lynn's Comments: I was given a placard, which read, "Boycott BC Hydro"” This was the company that governed the Vancouver transit lines at the time. I had read nothing about the reasons behind the bus fare hike and had no idea what "boycott" meant.

Lynn's Comments: Our enraged and noisy parade made it to the BC Hydro building where we demanded to see the Minister of Transportation. We were told that he was not in the building and that we should make our concerns known in writing. We were too excited and energized to be reasoned with. This was exciting!

Lynn's Comments: When I was about three years old, my aunt had given me a pair of very frilly under pants. The entire backside was ruffled, and I was thrilled with them. So much so that I went around the neighbourhood lifting my skirt to show them off. I didn't understand why my dad was so upset or why he made me come home and put on a pair of overalls.
