Lynn's Comments: When I had a puppy, I was so grateful for the daily paper. I often wonder what new pet-parents do now that the news is more likely to be read online!

Lynn's Comments: I actually tried making vegetarian meals for a while. I think I lasted a week. The problem wasn't the vegetable diet, but finding enough easy recipes that would please everyone. In the end, we caved and ran out for a greasy chicken dinner—which, at the time, tasted like ambrosia!

Lynn's Comments: Another terrible pun. When a pun came into my head...I couldn't help myself.

Lynn's Comments: My mom made cucumber sandwiches. I loved them. It wasn't until I got to school that I found out it was a rather British "dish." If I brought a cucumber sandwich at school...nobody ever asked me to trade.

Lynn's Comments: I once asked my mother, "When do you know that you've actually grown up?" She said, "Never." This strip was done with her in mind.

Lynn's Comments: This story begins with the true account of a friends' desperate bid to escape from East Germany. He managed to crawl through barbed wire, elude guards, and hide in a frozen trench. He made his way to Canada and I met him at art school. We remain good friends today. So many people have incredible stories. You just have to ask.

Lynn's Comments: When I was training our new puppy, the breeder told me to clap loudly when he was doing something wrong—that he would be shocked by the loud noise and stop. I did this and it seemed to work, as did the use of a water spray bottle. Puppy training was the only thing I knew anything about, so when my son was a toddler, I found myself clapping my hands and shouting, "NO!" the way I'd done with the dog. Somehow this wasn't such a good kid-training method. Since he knew the loud noise came from me, he simply enjoyed the opportunity to see me do it again and again!
