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.

Hard to tap dance in bare feet.

The first thing that they need to buy with Elly’s new salary is a new coffee table.

John just seems shocked that Elly knows how to Table Dance.

If she’s tap dancing, she might be in need of a pedicure!

Elly isn’t wearing shoes.
And from the first panel, it looks like she isn’t wearing a bra, either.

John looks like a deer in headlights. Perhaps he’s thinking about how the housework should be split 50/50 now.

I hope she doesn’t get fired for reading on the job.

Play your cards right John, and maybe Elly will play “naughty librarian” with you tonight

I think the Doc will spring for a nanny/housekeeper right??

John looks a little nervous. Why is that i wonder?
Ellie being less under his control if she has her own income?
Aw, that’s just being paranoid, right?

If Elly is this happy to be out of the house…. away from her family….what does THAT say about her? Her glee seems to be misplaced.

Lynn’s Notes:
This is how I felt when I got my job with McMaster University. It was a job that required all of the skills I was born with and more. As a medical artist, I could make use of every resource I had — from my days at the animation studio in Vancouver to my art school anatomy classes. I was fascinated by everything medical and was about to be given an open door into any area I wished to explore. I was beyond happy! This same feeling came again years later when I began my career in the comics.

I’d be happy too if that happened to me.

@summerdog
wouldn’t it be great if everyone that went to work was happy to be going? They are not gone forever you know. She’ll be home later to spend time with them. sheesh
