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.

*&#$% Sunday versus Daily deadlines – Uncle Phil is arriving 2 days after he helped them pick out a tree.

Stuff Lynn in that empty suitcase.

Just take Sunday strips as alternative storylines. They may never be directly related to the daily comic. After accepting this, things got less confusing. :D

Yes, Sundays are always alternative, mostly always have been.

I never wanted to discover what was in my Christmas presents until Christmas morning. I loved the anticipation and suspense. Having said that; every Christmas Eve I had the same recurring dream. I would dream that I was up and opening presents, only to wake up and discover I was still in bed; go back to sleep and repeat, repeat and repeat.

A Sunday comic from last Sunday and this current strip should be backward. This current strip should be on Sunday and old strip from last Sunday should be posted on it today! Does that make sense? I do!

It makes sense Wildmustang. It’s almost like she’s doing a separate one for Sunday for people who only get a Sunday paper. Check out Alley Oop. They recap the whole weeks events on Sunday.

I like that story, cleokaya. I can completely relate. The anticipation on Christmas eve was always so sweet.

well this is an old one.
I was even worse as a kid. This is a birthday however, I would go into my parents room and unwrap my presents then wrap them up again. I hated surprises.

Wow, that sounds great! You got to open presents over and over again; and just when the feeling of anticipation was lost, you woke up and renewed it. It's like a dozen Christmases in a row!
