Lynn's Comments: The story lines about high school crushes attracted in a whole group of new teenage readers who stuck around for the soap opera drama. You might be one of those people!

Lynn's Comments: This is a bit of foreshadowing...the suggestion that Michael's career might be in journalism.

Lynn's Comments: When I was a kid, I loved to teach my younger brother to do stuff our mom would object to. For example, I got him to thump back and forth in his stroller so it was harder to push, and I showed him how to bite the bottom off his ice cream cone so the ice cream would drip through. I don't know why I did these things. The results didn't go well for either of us.

Lynn's Comments: Looking at these last 2 days worth of strips, I see that I've used the word "ready" 7 times. If I was checking the work of a student, I'd point this out right away as an error in the script!

Lynn's Comments: This was done at the time when my parents were leaving their house of many, many years. My mother had more plastic containers than anyone you can imagine.

Lynn's Comments: I had fun here drawing Phil and Elly's facial expressions. Nothing can show emotion like the elastic face of a cartoon character!

Lynn's Comments: My parents never did sell their house and move to a smaller place. By the time they were thinking of this, Mom was too sick to move and Dad wanted her to stay in their old, familiar surroundings. What happened in the strip is what should have happened; how their last years should have been. I was able to hold onto both of them just a little longer in my make-believe comic strip world.
