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.

Utility gifts aren’t what women want. They may need a crock pot but you’ve got to get them a personal gift too.

I guess she already had a vacuum cleaner and a dishwasher.

Let me see. She’s a saleslady who calls the gift a little boy gives his mother “romantic.” I would call her “creepy.”

I’d call him the one who earns the money to buy the glass angel.

A guy can get her something she needs any time. Birthdays and Christmas are for gifts to make her feel loved/special.

when my son was younger, about Mikes age, I got a glass angel, house, merry-go-round etc every year for Christmas. I cherished them for years but eventually they all got broken.

I really hope that Elly asked for that crock pot. Even then, he should add something else to make it special.

If that’s because you equate ‘romantic’ with ‘Oedipal’, that’s sad.
She’s using operant conditioning to teach him what kind of gifts women like herself like to get, using the terms women like herself like to hear associated with those gifts.

I have to disagree with most. If I put a item on my list that’s usable aka a crock pot, or vacuum, pots/pans, then I want them. It’s not really about the gifts that I receive, but those that I give and the time I get to spend with my family. I guess my family has it easy with me, I don’t expect the impossible by requesting they read my mind.

My honey has given me a microwave, an ice tea maker and an exercise bike. I’m about ready for us to stop exchanging gifts.

Oh I forgot about the deep fryer!

I guess I’m difficult, because I never really WANT anything much. I usually get something ‘for the house’ – new curtains, ice cream maker, coffee maker. That’s OK with me!
