2024 07: Family Road Trip: Browse The Strips

Lynn's Comments: This was an opportunity to talk about Canada...without making it seem like a documentary. I have driven and flown across this country several times and there is not one province that I don’t find to be absolutely wonderful!

Lynn's Comments: In reality, my in-laws lived within walking distance from our home in Ontario. We had all moved from Northern Manitoba to Northern Ontario, so it seemed like a good idea, in the strip, to keep them in the prairies. This way, I could create story lines about visiting them and the cousins there.

Lynn's Comments: Showing the Patterson’s drive across the country allowed me to draw and write about Canada, which was both fun and entertaining. If I was entertained, I figured my readers would be, too. Many wrote to tell me about their travels here and how much they enjoyed themselves.

Lynn's Comments: This was a big problem for me as a kid. Everywhere we went, we had to spend time with my parents’ friends. These people never seemed to have anything for kids to do, so my brother and I had to wait in bored frustration for these visits to end. It was then that I swore I’d have toys and games for kids to play with when I had a house of my own!
