Lynn's Comments: When my first husband and I moved to Ontario, one of the jobs he had at CHCH TV in Hamilton was as a cameraman on their televised wrestling series. We didn’t have kids at the time so I spent a lot of time at the TeleCentre up on the lighting scaffold watching wrestling!

Lynn's Comments: We know now that grapes and raisins can be very toxic to dogs, so Edgar had a lucky close call. Everyone please check with your vet to be sure which "people foods" your dog can tolerate!

Lynn's Comments: Because it was such a dramatic story, I felt I had to mention Farley’s death again. Some readers thought it was a dumb idea to insert Farley’s face into the branches of the tree here, but others really appreciated the gesture. No matter what I wrote or drew, there was always a difference of opinion!

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!
