Lynn Johnston On Being The Boss, Financial Crash Courses and Sink Dinners

The Peterborough Examiner has a pretty remarkable article up that I don't think has been published yet -- it claims to have been based in part on some work done as long ago as May -- on the last two years or so in Lynn Johnston's life. The cartoonist, whose For Better Or For Worse made the transition earlier this month from ongoing storylines to a mix (I think) of reworked earlier strips and new strips set in that period, talks about her husband leaving their marriage in 2007, the financial situation in which she found herself immediately following the break-up, having to pare down her studio and, prompting one strongly affecting image, eating dinner over her sink. One interesting piece of news is that she'll be doing some charity work in South America as a interpreter. Looking around a bit, it seem like Alan Gardner and Dave Astor also did a Little Rascals take at this piece.

Brad Mackay draws my attention to this interview from late last month, which is also very good.
