Lynn's Notes:

Going back to the story of the Nova Scotia magazine and the unpaid bill: We artists are a clan. We stand up for each other. A large, aggressive illustrator I knew was heading home to the east coast to visit his family. I told him about the magazine, which had commissioned an illustration from me and refused to pay because they had used another artist's work. He happened to know the editor of this magazine and promised to see what he could do. A few weeks later, he came to my home with a cheque for fifty dollars - the amount I was owed. I was thrilled. I asked what he had done to convince the editor to pay my bill. He said, "Well, after I reached over, grabbed his shirt, and pulled him across his desk, he thought it might be a good idea to pay up."

Is that what poor Lizzie had to do to get a cookie!? I've read the strip for years and often thought, "I'd NEVER want Elly for my mother, she's way too selfish and demanding!"
Of course, years later she finally showed some regret for all the times her power trips meant more than the kids. And then she looked tame next to Mira Sobinski!
