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 guess John will use the “ok, no blood was drawn and both kids are alive, so all’s well” approach.

Trying to bond can sometimes put you in a bind.

Is there any other way?

Well, John better prepares to take care of his children while Elly goes away for visiting her parents in Vancouver, B.C. John, have a dangerously fun! Hee hee heeeee…

He’s no more a saint than Elly is for taking care of them 24/7. Why do men get looked at like they’re some kind of hero for doing things women do all the time? At least this will teach John to appreciate Elly more.

yes, of course , John should just quit that dentist gig and stay home and take care of the kids and let Elly support the family.

Have you thought this through, John?

I can’t wait to see this play out…This should be very interesting. He’ll probably end up following her to her parents after the first day or two.

I think I like the original of this one better – John, with sour face, says, “I’m a SAINT.”
