For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 10, 2013

The ads are on top of the comic strips so a person has to leave this site and search out another…maybe the Star Tribune paper or the Seattle Times…in order to read the whole thing.

I can use right click and ‘View Image’ to see howtheduck’s link without the ads. Your browser may vary

Thanks Chris, that worked. Michael and Elizabeth remind me of me and my brother when we were kids. Some things never change.

This reminds me of a game my kids and I played during a power outage. We didn’t call each other names of course but we took turns saying an adjective by alphabet for example…Awesome, Beautiful, Crazy

so gross

When two of my kids started mouthing one time, I told one of them “why don’t you just call him a dirty old philantrophist(sp)?”They threw that word around for a week before one finally asked “what’s a phil——-?”(Note: a phil——- is one who donates large sums to charity)But it sounded insulting!

Shyygirl27: There is a parlor game called The Minister’s Cat in which one describes the cat with an adjective, verb, object sequence starting with the same letter through the alphabet around the room. My choice for the dreaded X was “the minister’s cat is a xenophobic cat that x-rays xylophones.”

Yes, she knows there’s no ‘o’ in stupid. She was writing it onomatopoetically, the way the child was saying it.
