Lynn's Comments: I was always impressed by the amount of patience our dog had with young children. He put up with things I would never have expected him to tolerate. I guess he knew that "puppies" need patience.
Lynn's Comments: In the top panel, the name “Voyer” was for our country neighbours across the road. The Voyer family were great friends and it was fun to wait for them to find a small surprise in the paper.
Lynn's Comments: This is word-for-word from an experience I had while working on animated shows. I got a taxi to the animation studio and met this incredible young man whose outlook on life really resonated with me. Sometime later, a friend, whose life was very up and down, was going through a hard time so I wanted to give her some original art as a gift. I asked which strip she would like and she chose this one.
Lynn's Comments: This, of course, really happened. I found that a hot iron and paper towels helped to get the lipstick out of my light-coloured clothing.
Lynn's Comments: After this strip ran, I was sent a set of video game gloves meant to keep your wrists and thumbs from getting sore from poking away at a game controller. I couldn’t believe someone had actually patented and marketed such a thing. It’s a crazy new world!
Lynn's Comments: This also happened. My son decided to see how far a spool of dental floss would go. He strung the stairwell and the hallway and even the kitchen before he ran out of floss. I would have been angry, but it’s hard to give serious discipline when you’re laughing!
