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.

If you don’t like a smell, don’t sniff.

It’s definitely bath time for Farley.

Doggie perfume! My dogs would go down to the river and roll in dead fish. They loved the way they smelled after that! Not me…it meant lots of work to clean them up. And, if you didn’t keep them in, they would go BACK and do it again, because you washed all the “good” smell off of them.

Anyone seen the “brain diagrams” which show how a dog’s brain works. Two prominent lobes in dog’s brain are “chasing stuff” and “love of putrid”–and the latter is divided into “eating it” and “rolling in it”!

Macushlalondra. I am with you on this one. I predict Farley will be bathed by Saturday. Unfortunately that still leaves Friday for another “Farley smells bad” strip.

A good side to being a cat owner. ;) (One of the many, mind you!)

If you can find a cat that barely sheds, or that doesn’t shed at all… perfect.

Or I think that smell could be from skunk!

Note: this is one strip which has been “updationed”–see Lawrence’s use of the word “hurl”, a post-1990 Americanese word almost never used in Canuckese!
