   “Daddy?…He isn’t breathing…” — oh, man. Completely gutted. Again. I’ve been following all Lynn Johnston’s comics since 1979, so even though I knew this moment was coming again, and I tried to avoid looking at the strip when it showed up in my email, I felt I had to look again. For Farley. Wow. Lynn sure knew how to get to our hearts. Beautiful, really.

   This is exactly why Lynn Johnston is so incredibly good! She takes little snippets of real life scenarios and draws them out for us via gentle humor, sometimes biting sarcasm, and like this one… through a touching child-parent moment often unnoticed or even acknowledged. She is a genius, really. I have followed her work since the early 1980s. These strips never get old. This particular strip tugs at my heart as Michael, the adult-like fledgling (with his beloved teddy bear tucked in his suitcase)… is off to college. Well done, Lynn. :)
