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.

Move over Deanna! Michael has a new childhood sweetheart. At least we know now why older Michael bought this house from his parents.

I wonder if Elly will do the same when she sees her bed?

No matter how much fun you’ve had, there’s nothing like home, sweet home.

I always consider myself home when I’m within ten miles of it when returning from a trip.

I’d feel the same way after going camping. It would give you a new appreciation for your home, your bed, your bathroom, and your kitchen!

I’m looking for a home to feel that way about…

I too feel that way when I return home from long trips. Other beds are nice, but most are far too soft …

I don’t know about the bed, but I bet Elly will have the same reaction to the bathtub.

I remember coming home from family vacations as a kid.
I started feeling excited about getting home when I started seeing familiar landmarks.

to quote L Frank Baum:
there’s no place like home.

He was homesick, how sweet. I get that way too…But I really miss my critters (and my Tempur-pedic bed) when I’m away.

Yup, home sweet home, and now back to the sweet old grind…back to work, back to cleaning the house, back to getting ready for school. Ah yes, ‘How SWEEEET it ISSSSS”!

We have a sign on the fridge: No matter where you may roam, the best part is coming home.
