For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 08, 2018

you just had to be there, Mike

Well, at least Elly didn’t licked by a dog and get dog germs as when Lucy and Snoopy did this routine:

I see the family resemblance!

Michael has the routine down well.

Elly’s right about the scissors, though. Cutting paper can ruin a good pair of fabric shears. I suppose she could sharpen them, but that isn’t a common activity, then or now.

Ms. Johnston: this is THE FUNNIEST strip I’ve read in many months!

Yes indeed the funniest

There is a scissor gremlin who’s only job is to hide the scissors in our house.

There’s also a coat hanger goblin who mysteriously multiplies coat hangers when you don’t want them and then makes them all dissapear when you do need one !

Now a days, the kid would record your lecture on his smart phone, and then play it back for you. I hate when they do that….“Delete that or else!” And that lecture gets recorded, too…. and played back… makes them happy.

LOL…ha ha ha!

The one house rule that I continually broke was “don’t steal Mom’s good scissors.” What none of us knew was that, being left-handed, I couldn’t make cheap scissors cut to save my life. Paper just slid between the blades, uncut. Mom’s good, sharp sewing scissors was the only pair in the house I had the slightest chance of cutting a straight line with!

Like mother, like son…

Haha- great one! Michael mimicking Elly’s histrionics is terrific, and shows that Lynn isn’t above making fun of her “Author Avatar”, and is DEFINITELY aware of how silly Elly looks.

The best part is how instead of snorting, she thinks, “Snort”
