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.

Poor old Farley. He just can’t catch a break.

Wrong victim. Little girls are great at shifting the blame. Take a look at today’s Cul de Sac.

Too bad Farley can’t speak up for himself. “Hey she woke me up!”

Poor little guy.

And when she sees all of the toys that were in the crib on the floor will she blame Farley, too? Poor pooch…..

Elly, don’t blame on Farley. You should know that Liz aggravates throwing things at Farley on purpose!

I don’t know about these two but I had to watch my 3 year old and German shepherd extra close if they were in the same room together…They worked together to get into trouble.

Jumping to conclusions is common with only two children. You eventually grow out of it.

the littlest one never gets the blame - ask my oldest son. he used to always get the blame for stuff all the time

Yeh, but Farley loves the attention.

bald - I hear ya. I was the youngest in my family and dang, did I get away with stuff. To make it worse, I was the informant. My catchphrase was “I’m telling!”

The only time I ever cried reading the comics was the day Farley died!

Drystyha, I did too. I also went all misty when Opus was asleep in the final BB. I’m a guy but give me something emotional and I’ll cry a river.

I cried when Farley died.
I also cried when Pat Byrnes’s “Monkeyhouse” ended, it was *so* perfect!

I know I cried when Farley did too. It was so hurtful. The Opus thing got me wet eyed as well. I mean it is the comics, but I get attached to these characters!
