Lynn's Comments: I once went into a furniture store looking for a couch. They were short staffed and I could see they needed help. I loved their store and knew the inventory and volunteered to help. At the end of the day, they offered me a job. I was already employed, but I sure liked the idea of being able to show what I could do before I applied!

Lynn's Comments: You can't do a strip like this unless the idea comes from real life. Unfortunately, it was a customer who told me I had my sweater on inside out!

Lynn's Comments: Yup. The buck stops at the front desk. There was a reason my dad never wanted me to handle the cash. I was much better at sales!

Lynn's Comments: When both my folks were working, it was my job to go home and put on supper. This is right from my childhood.

Lynn's Comments: My readers hated Michael's beard. As soon as he came home sporting facial fuzz, the letters came. I had to let Mike go through this rite of passage, so I left him with the beard for a few months...until the complaints became something I really had to deal with. Removing Mike’s beard was the only thing I ever did to placate angry readers!

Lynn's Comments: It was hard to find a name for the new puppy. I was hoping that Ed-Grrr would work, but the connection to the growling sound was a bit obscure. Still, "Eddy" was a good name so it stuck. This is the beginning of the final story about Farley.

Lynn's Comments: Quotes like, "face value" were essential to my writing. They gave me an automatic punch line. Even today, I can't hear a cliché without wanting to work it into a strip.
