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.

Diets never worked for me. Portion control is the way I did it. Everything in moderation. Not easy, but once I saw that it worked, it got better.

I used to say that if it didn’t go to waste, it would go to my waist.

Portion control and eating natural (non-processed) food works for me. And I never understood people who finish all of their kids’ junk food. Yes, it doesn’t need to be finished and the kids don’t need all that junk either.

I had a friend that would cut any meal he was served into 2 halves. He would have them pack up 1 half, he would eat the other half and then leave the rest there.

“Kids do that sometimes.”
My youngest granddaughter would say, “Grandma?. . . I can’t finish my ice cream cone! Would you put it in the fridge for me?”

Lynn’s Notes:
Here is an example of bad lettering. Hand lettering has to be neat, clean, and legible. Spaces between the words are important as well. You have to make sure that the reader’s eyes flow easily over the text and that he knows exactly what’s being said. I never thought twice about the lettering in this strip until I received a note from a reader saying he couldn’t understand why: In the second panel, Elly had called herself a “goon.”
