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.

A dog I once had would run and hide under the bed if I asked him “Do you want a bath?”.

He’s Canadian/Canadien, so he wouldn’t understand American. I don’t know how to say “bath time” in Canadian.

I had a schnoodle that would jump into the tub when I told him to… It’s not that he liked baths. He weighed 10lbs, (10.5lbs wet), and knew it was pointless to argue… :)

our lab would run to the bathtub when we put the kids in for theirs and try to get in

@algurka - the Canadian translation is simple: “it’s bathtime, eh?”

I had a dog that would hide behind the couch when I said that it was time for a bath. Then I had a dog that would jump in the tub when I said the same thing to her.

Get some tasty soap Michael (hint: ask mum to go to Pigtown and pick some up from one of the Indian grocers), then Farley will start loving baths!

What kind of stink Farley got from? I noticed the fourth panel; Farley smelled the tree. I assumed that Farley peed at that tree after he smelled. Y’all know that many dogs tend to smell and pee at those trees, bushes and many mores. I more likely think the smell from Farley’s urine became stinky!

Who wants a bath with Mr. Bubble™♪♪♫♪♪♫♫♫?

Wildmustang1262. The stink lines are off his back and Farley rolled in the grass in the third panel. Maybe the grass is really stinky.

Not Mr. Bubble, Gweedo–“Old Cinthol” is much more palatable to dogs.

We had a dog that would roll in cow pies just after we gave her a bath.
