For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 30, 2013

Didn’t this one “air” recently"? Anyway, just like the last time I saw it, it leaves me wondering if that was multiple visits to Mike’s room, or just one.

Cleaning is a waste of time. I doubt that any woman, on her deathbed, ever said “gee, I wish I’d kept a cleaner house.” As long it’s sanitary, who cares? Not me. My kitchen is clean, the rest of the house—not so much. Too many other things to do.

When my children were young, I told both have a treasure hunt and see what you can find. They brought out a lot of trash and vacuumed their room, I told them good work, they come out showing what they found.

People have different tolerances for clutter. Michael’s room looks fine to me.

N O W !!!

Both Elly and Michael seem to have a little ADHD. Michael in terms of cleaning his room, Elly in terms of staying in his room to supervise him. They both have better things to do.

Maybe it wasn’t what you would throw out-maybe it was what you might find!

Looks to me like Elly needs to teach Michael the meaning of NOW.

My only surprise is that Elly is not screaming. She actually appears to be speaking it a normal level.

Comments that are all, “Women be evil, amirite?” make this a very obnoxious forum to visit. Thank goodness I don’t have any cynical blowhards in my real society.

It’s just comic strip!!!!!

People are always attacking the character Ellie, but Lynn is “drawing” her this way because she is being self critical. Sometimes with a little exaggeration, in order to make that point. This can make the character look bad, if not seen in that light. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets this.
