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.

Ugh. When are you EVER going to learn to quit while you’re ahead, John?

And the worst part is, he actually still thinks he’s being helpful!

Like many men, he doesn’t seem to know when he’s about to overkill his compliments.

No need for that caveat. Just added strychnine to the icing on that cake fellow.

@kfccanada
Like many women, they need or insist an overkill of compliments.

To quote Michael Caine: “A brief shining moment…and then that mouth.”

Will John ever learn not to put both feet in his mouth?

Lynn’s Notes:
I don’t really like this strip. Even though the things Elly says about herself are exactly the way I felt, I don’t think I handled this idea well. What I wanted to say is: It’s easy to criticize, but the truth is… nobody’s perfect. Oh well. When a strip I hated came out, I’d cringe, wish I had done something better, and be glad that it would be forgotten by the next day. This was before we started reprinting the duds for everyone to read in perpetuity. So, do me a favour… skip this one and go on to the next!

At least John admitted he’s not perfect.
I can’t stand Elly’s pity-parties, anyway.
Tomorrow and Tuesday are Rosh Hashanah, so I won’t be posting.

There are 23 supermodels in the world. The rest of the women are normal.
