Lynn Johnston (born May 28, 1947) is a Canadian cartoonist who is most known for her comic strip For Better or For Worse.She is also the first female cartoonist to win the prestigious Reuben Award for this comic strip.
Born Lynne Ridgeway in Collingwood, Ontario, Johnston was raised in British Columbia. She attended the Vancouver School of Art with hopes of making it as an artist. After marrying in 1969, she moved back to Ontario
Unable to obtain employment in animating, Johnston worked as a medical artist at McMaster University. While expecting her first child, she did drawings on the ceiling of her obstetrician's office. Those drawings were published in her first book entitled David We're Pregnant, which was published in 1972. After her divorce, she free-lanced in a greenhouse which was converted into a studio.
In 1978, Johnston and her two children relocated to Lynn Lake, Manitoba. She was asked by United Press Syndicate if she was interested in doing a comic strip. As a result, she sent off twenty copies of a strip called The Johnstons, which would first appear in newspapers throughout Canada under the new title For Better or For Worse.
Johnston now resides "quite privately" in the Northern Ontario town of Corbeil. [1]
