About For Better or For Worse
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.

And what will he find….?

This is a really valuable episode; there are lots of kids who have problems with unfamiliar bathrooms, but they think they’re the only ones.

Good grief. Bowel movements, menstruation, unwanted pregnancies and other bodily functions just take the fun out
of being a highly developed intellectual organism.

LYS but poop jokes make a 5 year olds world go round.

Maybe if Michael uses his bathroom, Lawrence will feel more comfortable about using Michael’s bathroom.

Although this may seem innocent to the young tikes, I smell disaster.
burglary
missing children
etc….

Coffee - this was the early 80s … it wasn’t AS BIG a deal then, but you are right … now a days it is.

Good grief! But luckily Michael can use the bathroom at Lawrence’s home anyway. Michael, help yourself to get over with #1 quickly and then go back to bed NOW!

The great bug row that we’re about to have tomorrow should at least have one benefit: it’ll take Elly’s mind off of what John is doing. Unless, of course, she manages to blame the whole thing on John for going away.

I see two potentials for conflict here:
If Lawrence’s mother believes she’s home alone, she’s liable to get mighty concerned over the sound of multiple toilet flushes in what is supposed to be an otherwise vacant house.
If Lawrence’s mother is NOT alone… hmmm… let’s leave that option alone for the moment….
