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.

Always have been. Pigs were a good way to get rid of corpses.

As I mentioned the other day, pigs are omnivores, and they will kill and eat any small animal they can get hold of. That’s why you don’t let small children go near the pig pen.

Since when do chickens fall over when they sleep?

Pigs were a problem during the Civil War. More than one battle had hogs eating the dead.

I know it’s only a television show, but there was an episode of Criminal Minds where the killer disposed of 30-40 bodies over time by placing the remains in the pen with his pigs. They consumed everything, even the bones.

Who said they fell off? Those sides look low enough, the pigs could have grabbed them off the side.

if you ever saw what pigs and chickens eat, you’d never
touch ham or KFC again

Wasn’t there a real case in Canada where a pig farmer disposed of the victims with the ‘help’ of his pigs? The butchered hams were then sold to the public. Many of the female victims were suspected prostitutes and their families were outraged because of the slow response by the police to investigate their missing family members. Had been going on for years. Purses, shoes etc. were found at the pig farm.

I am not aware of this real case. On the tv show, I think the way they caught the killer was from a tooth which had not yet been digested that they removed from one of the pigs.

Yes, you are right. It was in British Columbia near Vancouver.

Wow. This is really mind-blowing. I didn’t know about this before, but the actual real-world event could have been the inspiration for the TV episode. I can’t even imagine something like this really happening. The only things left from most of the victims was a trash dumpster filled with their shoes. Very scary.
