Lynn's Comments: This is where I used alliteration as a punch line. When writing a short story, I had to produce some daily "wit" even if there was nothing to hang it on. "I think they're all creepth!!"—"I think they’re all curious." I tied up the 4 panels as best I could with these almost rhyming comments.

Lynn's Comments: This was a segue into the introduction of the teacher in a wheelchair. I had wanted to show someone in a chair for a while, but didn’t know how or when to do it. Strange, since we all know someone who is disabled. Miss Edwards became a favourite character, but again, I had little space in which to feature one of Elizabeth's teachers.

Lynn's Comments: Miss Edwards' character gave me the opportunity to talk to and seek out the advice of people who used a wheelchair. It was a wonderful education!

Lynn's Comments: This comment was from an encounter I had with one of the people I met at "Wheelchair Rugby." I learned that it's rude for an able-bodied person to lean or sit on a wheelchair while talking to the occupant because the chair is effectively part of the user's body. I also learned that sitting down to talk to someone who is in a chair is a sign of respect and consideration. These are things I should have known instinctively, but did not. This was a wonderful education!

Lynn's Comments: This line was delivered by a dear friend—a high school teacher who was very good at her job. Sadly, she said that "parenting" took up more of her time than teaching did.

Lynn's Comments: I loved working with Miss Edwards. She allowed me to pontificate on issues I thought were important...without everyone thinking it was me!

Lynn's Comments: Around this time, the newspapers began to colourize the daily strips and often without consulting the cartoonists' own colour charts. This meant mismatched hair colours and different clothing in different papers. One newspaper colourist made the Miss Edwards character Black, which made a change back to caucasian rather difficult. Readers in that area appreciated seeing a Black teacher in the mix. Eventually, correct colour palettes were established, but not before some interesting errors had been made!

Lynn's Comments: The Miss Edwards character connected me to some wonderful people. In order to research life on wheels, I was challenged to participate in wheelchair rugby! Let me tell you, it is a wild and difficult game. I didn't have a chance!

Lynn's Comments: A friend who used a wheelchair surprised me when she told me all of the things she had accomplished that summer; I hadn't done half of the things she had done! She told me that one of her favourite songs was: "Anything you can do, I can do better."
