Lynn's Comments: The line I wanted to “ring out” here wasn’t the punch line at the end, it was in panel two: Am I in love or in need? I wrestled with that question when I was a single mom and dating. I wanted desperately to have a partner; someone in my life. It would have been so easy to settle for the wrong person because I was so lonely.

Lynn's Comments: Being able to say what I said in the last panel was a break through. Up until this time, cartoonists were prohibited from talking about body functions or to even show a husband and wife in bed together. As long as we were careful in the way we worded our lines, the editors gave us all quite a free range.

Lynn's Comments: More than once I’ve been told by a doc that my problems were psychosomatic. Later, I was lucky to find a neurologist who told me my symptoms were real; that I did indeed have something serious. I always wondered if I’d have been so easily brushed off if I was a man!
