Phil and Georgia's house: Browse The Strips


Thursday, May 2, 2013

Lynn's Comments: A little artistic license here. I don't think I ever showed a fish tank in the house before this sketch, and I didn't show one later--unless it was in the clinic. It simply appeared for this gag. Later on, I paid more attention to such details, but at this time, I just drew whatever came to mind!

Lynn's Comments: This was an actual quote from my brother. I whooped when he said it. Not only was it funny, it was a punch line I didn't have to come up with!

Lynn's Comments: Artificial cigarettes were newly on the market when I did this strip. As a non-smoker, I was fascinated by the idea. Could a placebo smoke really take the place of the real thing? Friends and family were eagerly testing this possibility, but couldn't get past the image of the pacifier to take it seriously!

Lynn's Comments: Alan bought and tried a cigarette substitute. It was a plastic inhaler with a nicotine hit. He wandered about the house trying to look nonchalant, but like all the other "quit the habit" innovations, this too was destined for failure. I had to give him credit--at least he tried. And when he flung the bogus butt into the woods one day, he didn't swear in front of the kids.

Lynn's Comments: When my dad tried to quit smoking, he got rid of his cravings, he said, by going for a walk. We knew it was an excuse to grab a fast cigarette, 'cause Dad didn't like exercise and rarely walked anywhere!

Lynn's Comments: During my coffee house days, I was often among the great and wanna-be greats of the folk music scene. One evening I joined a group of musician friends for beer and pizza. The young man sitting next to me was rapping constantly on the table, ignoring our pained expressions. Fed up, I put my hand over his the way a mother would silence a child. He was furious! Turned out he was the drummer for a famous group. He did stop tapping, however, for which everyone was grateful!

Lynn's Comments: Alan's adjustment from singlehood to his relationship with Joan was a constant source of comedy. The thing I love about my brother is the way he greets adversity; he makes it into a story, which he embellishes just enough to make it great.

Lynn's Comments: Every time my brother, Alan, sees these strips, he can't believe he was so addicted to cigarettes. He has been smoke-free for many years now--something for which we are all profoundly grateful.

Lynn's Comments: Yeah--another satisfying pun. I couldn't wait for gags like this one to come out in the papers. Then I would wait for Sparky (Charles Schulz) to call and say, "That's terrible! You get away with far too much!"

Lynn's Comments: My brother's anxious phone calls leading up to his wedding day, were hilarious. He wasn't unsure, he was just overwhelmed. Having been a musician all his life, he'd been a very independent guy. Marriage was going to change everything!

Lynn's Comments: This was the reaction we had when my first husband and I bought our first house. It was 1971 and that night when we went to bed, we kept saying over and over to ourselves, "What have we done?!"

Lynn's Comments: When I was a child, I looked at many things as if they were animate objects. Drawer pulls, for example looked like smiles. A bathtub faucet and handles could look like a face with a long curved nose. A radio dial looked like a smile with many teeth. Houses, to me, had personalities, and some, like this one, even had a "face."

Lynn's Comments: This is one of the rare times that the focus of the strip left the Patterson family. This is because Phil and Georgia had become such an important addition to the family that I had to tell more of their story.
