For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 20, 2015

respect your elders, Mikey

Ooops.

Somebody’s going to get it… .

I remember when I suddenly learned about the ‘picture within a picture’; you are then only as limited as your imagination.

Lynn’s Notes:

This scenario is from a Little Lulu cartoon I read as a kid. Little Lulu had found a potato which looked exactly like her friend Tubby. When he found out, he went crazy and chased her all over town to get it. The story line ended with him eating the raw potato. I thought it was hilarious! Funny…the things you remember

Lynn, I always enjoy your little footnotes. Please don’t ever stop them.

I read that some guy is going to make his first million by developing a mold to use in the field, that forces the pumpkins to grow into shapes. He’s only done a few types so far. Frankenstein’s head I think is one. He hopes to make a deal with a big chain store to sell them. To order directly from him, is $100 a pumpkin. If they get into the stores, they may be around $30 apiece.

For once, it’s John who’s annoyed at one of the kids, instead of Elly. Where are all the screetchers who like to belittle Elly for getting annoyed at her kids? Apparently, it’s ok if John does it.
