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 probably has told you to be more careful, over and over and you haven’t listened. This is all your fault John, not hers.
cvdwoest said, 6 months ago
Duh. As we all notice, since several months everything in this strip is John’s fault. I’ve got enough of it.

He’s probably like my husband - hates to clean up (including putting his tools away) after he’s finished a job. He thinks I should do that, but I have no idea where the tools go, since he got them out.

John deserved it! LOLs!
My father always left something on counter, table and some place and never put them away neatly. We all had to clean them up for him. SIGHHH!

Lol, sounds like my dad and me. I think he’s madder at himself than anything else. I’ve done that. Ouch. I’m sure it’s also the fault of the guy who invented screwdrivers. ;)
