Puzzle Description:

The boys made a game of it. They crumpled up the construction paper and tossed it into the wastecan, yelling, "Two points!". Then they took turns running at full speed toward the wastecan, jumping into it with both feet. It looked like fun. I thought I could do it, too. So I gave it a try.

Exciting, Linda! In that times there wasn't 3 point throws! (it's a great comics...)

You look so sweet and innocent. :)
#10: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Nov 18, 2013
thank you, Kristen :-) I was foolhardy, though...or probably what is called adhd today. I didn't always think before I acted.

Wonderful illustration. Great use of color and perspective.

I have often wondered what happened to Linda. She left us hanging with a continuing story with the last one she published involved some kids being chased down a hill by a gigantic snow ball. I guess we may never know if they made it safely because the last time she logged on was probably a couple of years ago. I tried to look up this series buy they seem to have been lost in the big shut down we had where so many puzzles were lost.

I miss Linda too. I just sent her an email to see if she is okay and to ask if she would pop in and say hellp to her fans.

Oh no, that's awful! This was an excellent series (if a somewhat gruesome subject). I don't remember where to access the list of lost puzzles. I just looked for my own, and recreated them.
#20: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Jan 20, 2018
We all miss Linda. Please let us know if you hear back from her Teresa

I did not hear back from her. Here is her website, which has not been updated for a few years:
