For Better or For Worse creator Lynn Johnston retired from creating daily comic strips back in 2008, but that doesn’t mean she’s done creating.
“I tried to retire. I really did. But after a year or so of bumbling about, I realized I had to do something creative with my time,” she said on her website.
So she’s turned her attention to something different from her long-running comic strip — stories about robots.
“I love robots,” she said. “Robot characters are fun to draw and stories about them are fun to create. Once I had set my sights on robots, my thoughts turned to books. I decided to try my hand at writing stories for kids. I have written in rhyme because, somehow, that’s just how the muse manifested itself. I gave myself a year to come up with a number of illustrated books, and I have finished the first three!”
