For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 20, 2019

This is not the time to make jokes, John.

Sleeping on the couch for fat jokes again, John?

Farley’s facial expressions are funnier than John’s lame joke.

I knew he was going to make a comment about her weight. He must love that couch.

Elly has no sense of humor

And she wonders where Michael gets it from!

Who wants to cuddle bones, Johnny? That was completely uncalled for!!!!

Research has founds that women who are a bit overweight live longer than the men who comment on it. :)

He’s not making a lame joke. He’s making a snarky remark, and the huge grin shows he is doing it deliberately. Guys, being snarky is not funny.

John must be really fond of sleeping on that couch!

Farley probably thinks he weighs just right. I mean his ‘pants’ are fine, so all is well. Right?

Nobody here mentioned he couldn’t feel his own ribs either.

Looks like Farley is going to have company in the doghouse tonight…

Elly Patterson is glowering

I think she’s turning Japanese

I think she’s turning Japanese

I really think so

I think she’s turning Japanese

I think she’s turning Japanese

Just like the Enjos

How is that man still alive?

APB for a Dentist named John. Been missing since this strip published.

I guess Farley isn’t the only one sleeping on the sofa tonight.

Ouch! He may be finding out what knuckles feel like soon.

Remember what knuckles feel like?

Elly, take the dog to his vet. Get some expert advice on Farley’s health.

Why all the jokes about her weight? She is not fat! Maybe Lynn should have drawn Elly chubbier.

No cover ads

When you discover you’re at the bottom of a hole, stop digging.

Two for the doghouse.

Someone’s sleeping on the couch tonight with the dog.

I remember reading this one in the newspaper the first time!Man I’m getting old…

Maybe, I should have been clued in when one of my kids asked me if I was born before tables were invented.

Elly is not drawn fat enough to not be able to feel her ribs. Sure she’s got a bit of middle age spread, but she is nowhere near obese.

Considering Lynn Johnston copied her own family for the comic strip, one would seriously wonder what was going on in the Johnston house.

She might just “bitch slap” John.

Open mouth, insert foot.
