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.

Okay, that conversation made no sense.

Edited 3rd panel for clarity:
I go [to] every yard sale in [the] city – and I give you 6 out of 10 for this one.

The lady is miffed there aren’t chips and lemonade. That would surely have rated a 10.

It is well known that in Canada the mainstay of yard sales is immigrant women with thick accents wearing a babushka. Or is that the mainstay of offensive cultural jokes? I am not sure.

The conversation made complete sense if you happen to live in a community with a higher level of citizens who have immigrated to Canada (in this case) or to the US and you’ve developed an ear for their vocabulary. Our country is a mixed bag of languages and customs which makes Canada an interesting place to live. We’re not all either English or French as one particular province would have you think. (I come from Quebec but am English)
