Lynn's Comments: This strip gave me a chance to talk about menopause and funding cuts to education…both of these problems were driving me crazy!

Lynn's Comments: Action was the hardest to draw. I wanted to put the “camera” in different positions, different angles, so that the motion was exaggerated. Believe it or not, I used photographs of football players in action to get these poses. It was worth the effort.

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!

Lynn's Comments: I loved my father-in-law. This was done as a gift to him.

Lynn's Comments: Someone recently told me that the way to easily clip your dog’s toenails is to put peanut butter on your forehead, and while he’s licking it off, you can cut his nails. Has anyone out there tried this??

Lynn's Comments: This is likely the worst pun I ever did. I had to set it up carefully. For example, I couldn’t put Mel’s name first in the dialogue—it might have given away the gag. The baby’s name, “Tabitha-Jayne,” is also a diversion away from the punch line. You have to craft these things just so. In the end, was this pun worth the effort? Well, YES!!! First of all, I like groaners, and second, even though it was an awful pun, it was a perfectly good idea. With a deadline always looming, I used whatever came to mind!

Lynn's Comments: The last time I bought glasses they cost almost twice this much!

Lynn's Comments: “DEWITT YOURSELF”…I couldn’t resist the idea that a guy called Doogie Dewitt had opened a car wash. Wouldn’t that have been a great name? Sadly…there’s no “DEWITT YOURSELF” car wash. The gag about the dog locking the car doors really happened.
