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.

I wish that I could have known my sweetie way back when I was a kid. But, we met at the only time when our relationship could have possibly worked, so life is good.

Very, very sweet! Hindsight is 20/20, but Michael has the soul of a writer. This is the proof.

I wish that I could have known my (ex)sweetie way back when I was a kid. That’s probably the only time our relationship could possibly have worked.

I find this very moving–the sensitivity of that teacher.

I don’t think Michael was being that sweet in the last panel. Judging by the way it’s written, I think he wants the seat because it was near the window, not because it was Deanna’s.

It’s probably a bit of both, he likes the window seat and it reminds him of Deanna. The teacher here is great, there should be more teachers like her.

You all sure are reading this one different than I am. You see sweet…I see Mike-the opportunist.

The word is REAL, Chuck.
I am a person with both eyes open.
And a bit of an opportunist, myself.

I think Macushlalondra has the right of it - Mike’s a bit of both.

summer, Nothing wrong with that! I can be at times also and occasionally I’ve found that my “trusting/looking for the good” attitude has bit me in the backside at times

Michael, you may have Deanna’s place by the window!
