Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.

O.K. I will be the one: “That’s the way the cookie crumbles”.

You would be shocked at how far ONE cookie can go - it’s like Vaseline a little goes a very long way.

Note to self: Remember to strap my kid into his high chair when I give him food once he’s that age. All the time. Maybe till he’s about 12.

You mean calling Farley and he knows what to do is licking all those spots on the carpet? It will hardly do removing the chocolate spots on the carpet; therefore, it will become a lot of stains. Ha!

This is a job for Farley…My dog’s nickname is Hoover.

I was just pointing out that this is one of the original strips, Jahosacat, found in her archives. No need to slap me with the cynicism stick.
