For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 14, 2013

Probably Joan Jett?

Or maybe Iggy Pop?

I have to admit, that’s pretty good — and the reaction from Elly is priceless!

Mike did a terrific job of it, didn’t he? Lizzy looks really happy.The concept of shock and awe is certainly apparent here.

Too cute.

I wonder what hair gel was used… Dippety Doo?

he should have gone with the Miley Cyrus twerk look

At least he didn’t give her a permanent tattoo or a pierced nose!

That’s a cute costume, actually!

Punks of my day used Knox gelatin or Elmer’s glue to keep the style set,,,,for days. Either washed out easily.

I think it’s kinda cute! And she looks real happy about it.

Love it

I like it

Well that’s one costume you won’t have to worry about Elly. Now what’s Michael’s costume gonna be?

kool

Lizzie looks really cute, happy with the costume, AND (Listening Mom?) neither in her comic life nor in real life did she grow up to be a punk rocker!

Surprise, surprise, it’s been added to the dictionary (had never heard of it before the comments above).

Nice job

I disagree. In 1984, any parent with a little kid who got “punked out” would be freaked out. Today (2013), of course, what you say is the true…. punk rock is safe and nonthreatening. That is why the comic falls a bit flat today.

Do you take lots of Debby Downer lessons or were you just born this way? Here Michael spends all this time getting his sister set for Hallowe’en and all you can do is find fault because he didn’t go out and buy her a guitar? Stop screaming and bitching…

Check out Speed Bump today, they have a mom forbidding her daughter “undress up as Miley” for trick-or-treat.

Looks like a cute costume. Not sure why Elly is upset about it.
