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.

In the bathroom, door closed, “putting on her face,” Mrs. Tubbsbottl insists I wait without. Never the less, her loveliness shines through. She, lovely no matter what nor when.

One day, she will make one too many assumptions and down she goes

John’s got that nailed down. Mrs. T. sounds like a wise woman.

By the way, what did Elly do with her cream to put her face? Does she go bed with that cream face?

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

If women didn’t “pretty” themselves men wouldn’t look once. However I hate cakey, over applied makeup and long, clumpy, black, eyelashes smeared all over raccoon eyes.

I’ve been reading the comments here for a long while. I often wonder if any of you know this is really only a comic strip. This stuff never really happened. Most of you act like this is real. It sounds to me like some people need to get a life.

Why should we get lives? It’s more fun to hide in fantasies.

We do it for fun. And the comics reflect a lot of true to life situations which we can relate to. I’m getting tired of nits who criticize those of us who enjoy commenting on the comics. If you don’t like it don’t read them. Got it???

Whilst spending time on a comic comments list, making a judgement that people on that list should not be taking the comics seriously…. oh the irony :)

When someone starts posting every ten minutes, THEN you can start worrying.

Then again how many people have I met online arguing that you need to get a life if you waste your time arguing online…..
