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.

Mothers shouldn’t lie. However here is another case of “use it or lose it” that is true.

Or they will just get fat and weak, unless they have a really good metabolism, then they will just get weak.

Alternatively, one could always choose simply to remove it from one’s subscription cache.

That’s true! We have some rollypollies here, at work, that have gotten so big they no longer walk–they just use the scooters to get around. Someday they’ll have to be rolled from their desks to their cars parked right outside in the handicapped area.
