About For Better or For Worse
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.

That was nice and sweet thoughful of Elly to invite Annie and her kids to Elly’s home for nice convenience.

Yep. The sign of a true friend.

It’s interesting to see her (Elly’S) friends, though with some changes. I have the early books, almost all (25+) and Lawrence was originally drawn white and the son of the ex, not Hispanic. There are a few other things Lynn seemed to change- Elizabeth’s high school teacher once said she could never walk and her brothers took advantage, but elsewhere it was a motorcycle accident. I guess in 30 years you get better ideas!

To Kattbailey, Huh? What?

Kaitbaily - It still makes sense. Sharon Edwards had her accident in high school. That was still plenty of time for brothers to tease her and put things on a higher shelf.
