For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 29, 2014

I would’ve thought new dress.

And her mouth is much LARGER.

I thought elementary-school Deanna moved before Lawrence did…

Michael, you’ve already started the art of being a p-i-t-a to Deanna! Lots of luck! ;)

“And somehow he marrys her and is father of 2?”

She’s also starting to get some shape to her hips.

Jeez, Michael… even “did you get your hair cut?” is better than your response!

Michael is learning how to treat the opposite sex by watching how his dad talks to his mom.

From the look on his face in the third panel I’m guessing Michael knew what was differnt and was just messing with Deanna.

the tough coach; to get rid of that fat gut!

Very true. I suspect Michael has a crush on his gym teacher.

Michael is with his buds — preteen male behavior rules demand him being a jerkwad with any girl – even if he really likes her. Mustn’t lose face, you know.

Why isn’t there an easy “edit” button?

That’s not a gut. He’s leaning away from her.

She sounds a lot like Elly. No wonder he ended up marrying her…
