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.

At least paper is relatively easy to clean up. They could have made cookies!

One of my cats loves to make snowflakes. Just let him at the toilet paper!

Smile. Your kids have a father that plays with them. Paper enough to play with. And a house to decorate.

You never see the mess you are making until someone tries to get you to clean it up.

I wish Elly would yell, “YIKES!” Hey Elly! The best way to do is using vaccum cleaner to clean them up fast!

I think the best solution is to pick up the scissors, tape, and stack of good paper, but leave the mess. Dad can invent a game for the three of them to clean up after themselves.

Ellie, relax, Rosedragon is right. Just remind John & the kids that they left a mess. They’ll be glad to clean it up for you.

Pop a nembutal, Ellie. Wrap the tape backwards around your fingers and cleanup takes about five seconds.

I doubt John would clean up the mess with or without the kids unless she asked him to, or reminded him there is a mess. Men don’t see messes like we do. However if she is stuck with it a broom would do the trick pretty quickly.

Hmmm. A choice between (1) a husband who spends quality time and play with his children, or (b) a husband who doesn’t clean up after the mess. Seems like a no-brainer to me!
Dypak: Good answer, as long as she keeps it calm and matter-of-fact.
Bozo: Bad answer, using meds to cope.

Or skip the paper entirely. Copy and paste the link below in your URL. Try “Create your own,” or click “Find a flake” and type Carcassonne into the location slot. http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?skipDetect=true
