Lynn's Comments: Gordon and Tracey’s wedding was much like my first wedding—my reception was in my parents’ dining room; my mom made all the sandwiches and the cake.

Lynn's Comments: Gordon Mayes was the first of the “guys” to get married and I wanted it to be a small family gathering. Together, these two families could not afford a big wedding but it was a great day nonetheless. Gord and Tracey would be a solid couple with a very positive future.

Lynn's Comments: Yes, this is another vignette from my personal family history. My kids were lucky I had an outlet for my woes!

Lynn's Comments: I found it hard to draw really attractive characters—people with symmetrical features and athletic shapes. Somehow, they always looked as though they had stepped out of the “Archie” comics. This was the last thing I wanted…because I often used the Archie characters as research when I had to draw full figures.

Lynn's Comments: For years, when we lived in the far north, I worked with my sister-in-law as her veterinary assistant, and neutering pets was something we did often. It’s much faster and easier to neuter a male than a female, and when we were at work, the guys gave us a wide berth.

Lynn's Comments: One thing that always surprised me was how resilient and up beat our patients were after surgery. Dogs recover from some of the most serious operations with cheerful and friendly behavior—masking any pain they might be in. They are far more active than you’d expect them to be. Perhaps it’s a way to survive in the wild.
