For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 22, 2019

watch it, kid, with that remark

Clearly Patrick is unfamiliar with Archimedes’ principle.

Ah, that is why Liz stayed away from you when you were a hormonal teenager, Christopher. You are obnoxious and will be twice as much as a teenager. It’d be nice if Lynn wrote/drew “what happened to the supporting characters” strips. I’d like to know what happened to Christopher, his little brother and the baby sister. I know their parents divorced but that was the end of the family next door.

The trick is to take some deep breaths and then EXHALE before going under, not inhaling to take a deep breath and holding it.

When I was young I was chronically underweight and swam badly because I sank like a rock. I could sit on the bottom of the pool for about a minute with the air in my lungs, then walk out. Now I don’t like water but I bet I would float with a marching band on my back.

This boy is begging for a dunking!

Anyone know why I am not getting any feedback to my posts?

Smart-mouth boy last seen sitting on the bottom of the lake, held down by “airhead” girl.

I like this strip, but I do notice that male characters are not treated very well.

Outstanding artwork.

Lynn’s Comments:

I learned to swim by trying to sit on the bottom of the community pool.

Says the little pencil neck Geek with an IQ of 82!

Liz, having “all that air in your head” is far better than the vacuum between his ears.

She needs to stop holding her nose. Bad habit.

If Elizabeth had a helium head, she would float up to the mesosphere!

Obnoxious words of advice. These does this teenager belong?

Cute … onepiece
