Lynn's Comments: Whenever I did stories about anger and putting up walls, I always got mail from people who used it to talk to their own kids about situations they were going through.

Lynn's Comments: I was really happy with this strip. Sometimes the muse hands you a goodie.

Lynn's Comments: April's birth connected me to a whole new group of readers—new moms who wanted to tell me what was going on in their homes. This happened to me and to many others!

Lynn's Comments: Not wanting the family to settle into a comfortable routine, I decided to introduce the "helpful" relative who shows up to make life easier and winds up making everything a whole lot worse!

Lynn's Comments: Everyone has that well- meaning relative who wants to help but is no help at all. They always show up at births, deaths and other times where this kind of help is the last thing you need.

Lynn's Comments: Because there had never been a cat in the strip, I decided to add one that was less than friendly. Stuff like this gave me lots to work with; maybe too much!

Lynn's Comments: I tried to make Aunt Fiona one of those insidious characters who tests the limits of one's hospitality to the max.

Lynn's Comments: Aunt Fiona is loosely based on someone I know.

Lynn's Comments: This is the reason I don’t have a cat. Dogs, when they disappear, are somewhere down low. A cat, on the other hand, can be anywhere!

Lynn's Comments: Fiona was such a wonderful character to write. I wished I could have written a story about her alone.

Lynn's Comments: Making Fiona a heavy smoker, gave me an outlet to rant against smoking.

Lynn's Comments: Gossiping was an area where I could really let out a good rant! For Better or For Worse became a bit of a forum for this sort of thing.

Lynn's Comments: I had the opportunity to put in a name that wouldn’t be linked to a featured character in the strip. Cecily Beard is a dear friend and at the time we had lost touch. By putting her name in the strip, I was able to connect with her after almost 30 years. We met at the airport, arms around each other, crying and laughing and saying "you haven’t changed at all!"
