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.

She’s worried about attracting a nutcase? Um, has anyone mentioned that she IS and nutcase?

She just wants to loved! Is that so wrong?!?!?

That had better be a typewritter she’s using. There was no on-line dating service in the 70’s when this is supposed to take place.

My guess would be that she’s writing a personals ad for the newspaper. That’s what lonely people did to meet someone before the internet.

A keyboard isn’t that loud, must be a typewriter. “Ding!”

that aint no typewriter with a flat keyboard like that. a typewriter in 1978 or so was big and noisy. I’m guessing it’s updated so she’s using a laptop and the internet.

She’s got the same kind of “issues” as that nutcase with the octuplites plus 6.

Awww, I can tell the way Connie feels. She is sooooooo lonely. She needs to be loved so badly. Mmm, I think she is going to cry a little bit. snif, snif! waaaa!

Macushlalondra and Wildmustang1262: I agree with you.
Connie is too desperated!

I think Doc Boy from “Garfield” is single. Does she like cow tipping?

I would love to give her a little bit of my sweet lovin’, but I’m not sure if I want to spend out my entire life savings on her and her kid, only for her to divorce me and kick me to the curb in a fit of rage over unpaid shopping spree bills of hers, while stealing my house in a divorce proceeding, and leaving me broke, as so many men are, once they become the victim of a low-self-esteemed divorce-o-holic, who is never happy with themselves or the men they victimize. Oops! I forgot. This is a comic strip.

Search only for a man who’ll be ‘a husband’; and yes you’ll find plenty o’ nutcases. Search for a guy whose interests and personality might make him your best friend, and you may find a soulmate, Connie! Then you’ll actually have a chance at happily ever after….

Norman, I don’t know many women who wouldn’t put their kids first. Arceedee, right on! :)

AssofDoom, I used a Selectra that had a flat keyboard. ? Maybe that’s what Lynn was visualizing when she drew this.

Also, to misquote Mr. Kennedy: Ask not who will keep you company in a relationship, ask who needs your company, –you might find someone nice.

hey thanks kfaatz! And I totally agree about women putting our kids first - it’s just about hardwired into most moms…
