Lynn's Comments: In reality, my mom had bowel cancer. Her surgery was extensive, and it left her with a body that didn’t work the way it used to. This, too, became an adventure as she learned how to live with a colostomy and a new diet.

Lynn's Comments: I was sure when I did this cartoon that, in this respect, things hadn’t changed much since I was a teenager. The girls would get dressed up to go somewhere and wind up hanging around as the guys fixed or looked at or thought about buying a car. I received letters from women who’d had the same experience, but more from women who loved to fix and check out cars as much as the guys did!

Lynn's Comments: We had a friend who always seemed to have a funny story about himself—and he didn’t mind sharing. Larry said he’d been at a barbecue, and after a few too many drinks, sat down to enjoy a big steak. He wondered why the steak was so tough. As it turned out, he had cut through the steak and the paper plate and his pants and had begun to cut into his thigh. It was a really funny story, and I had to use it. Several more true “Larry stories” were included in FBorFW. It was a great exchange and I think he has a number of original strips on his wall!
