For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 30, 2019

boys’ hormones sure known how to get active

I like how “cool” they appear until after the girls have passed. :P

School life exactly as it is meant to be. Education comes in many forms.

Boys will be boys.

If school spirit matters to the cheerleaders then they might want to be friendly. Is a smile and a hello so hard?

Michael is a pig

The hormones in the food are much to blame. Childhood is more and more fleeting. My friend’s granddaughter is 9 and looks 14.

Lynn’s Notes:

Again, I was vilified for showing the boys ogling the girls…but hey, it’s what we do! The boys look at the girls and the girls look at the boys, and everyone wants that look to be full of potential. We wear attractive clothes, we do attractive things and the word “attractive” says it all. The critical letters I received made me wonder. Did these writers never enjoy the heart-stopping rush of a teenaged crush, or even enjoy an appreciative glance? I think if we search our collective memories, we’ll all see ourselves in these images of kids longing to be noticed by other kids!

I was glad to see her coming but I loved watching her go.

She plays castanets, she works without a net

I like her better when she walks away

She turns me on like a pick up truck

I like her better when she walks away

Ahhh…those were the days! I remember it well! ;o)

Uh, most high school boys aren’t that subtle.

I once encountered a seemingly well mannered and unassuming gentleman in his 70s, who told me that he started singing in musicals when he was 15. I commented that it was interesting that he found his calling at that point. His response? “Nah. I just liked being on the risers, so I could check out all of the blondes in the audience!” Some things never change…..

There’s more than salt in the air, you should see what the girls don’t wear…

What the hell are those girls wearing?!? Panties?!? Cheerleaders have skirts as I recall . . .

That blonde in the second panel is like……….”What a tough prActice”
