For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 23, 2014

See what (you) started, Phil?! Never talk with an old flame in front of a new fire… ;)

I got together with another CURRENT flame, we compared notes, and dumped him together..Poooor guy. Never knew what hit him.

Lynn’s Notes:

As time went by, Joan and Alan became an item and then a couple — as did the characters Phil and Georgia in the strip. One day, Alan called to say that he and Joan were getting serious and that I could not have Phil and Georgia get engaged until he was ready to propose to Joan. The strip, inadvertently, had become a window into their lives.

This song is Your song, the same song was OUR song…and he picked it both times.

Comparing notes. Phil is so dead.

“When you don’t have girl friends this never happens.”

When you don’t have girl friends, a LOT of things never happen.

I can remember sitting down to a Christmas dinner with my family plus my present and past girlfriend. NOT comfortable. They didn’t compare notes but they did take turns sending zingers my way and I just had to sit there and smile blankly. Don’t know what Mom was thinking when she made out the guest list.

Ruh-Roh….

You are pretty good at fiction yourself.

@howtheduck Show your proof !!!

Don’t flatter yourself Phil. You will never measure up to Ted.Ted is muscular and good looking you are ugly and repulsive.

Evidently the first comment is quite apt for you. You might even notice that I was replying to that comment.

Comparing notes — something all women would benefit from before getting into a relationship. Problem is — women don’t trust other women to tell them the truth.
