For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 08, 2019

girl-liking butt-brain would do such a thing, Michael

Meanwhile David sees this happening, walks over to Michael and says, “Hey! You gave your girlfriend a free hot dog! Why didn’t I get a free … oh, wait, that’s a really stupid question. Never mind.”

Only pay for it if she put mustard on it. Make her pay if she ruins it by putting that ketchup on it!

Aw, Mike, after all the talk about not letting friends go without paying, you turned a 360 for Martha? She was honest and gave you money. Take it. You can treat her at your next date Not at your place of employment.

Hey……Teen boys and pretty girls………I need not say more.

Who has the Butt-Brain Michael?

Saw that coming a mile off!

LOL! You really should stop starting sentences with “what kind of butt-brain”! You expose yourself every time!

Strange how we’re all so different. I like sauce and onions usually, but now & then sauerkraut.

Every single ethical point he made just went out the window.

You really do have to be careful where you invest your hard earned money. Good friend, girl friend or car.

You realize you need to be “pretty” to have this work for you, don’t you?

Heh, this is different—this time it’s Mike’s CHOICE and I’m glad to see it.

As long as Mike pays for it, it’s not a problem.

My son played volleyball in high school. One year when we went to a tournament and broke for lunch many of us went to the nearby Mickey D. The little girl who waited on us was in a snit and when she handed me back my change she just wadded it up and slammed it in my hand. I just shoved it in my purse and later when I counted it I found she had given me the change and the original money back. Good luck balancing that drawer!

As a bartender, I would on occasion buy a regular customer (or a pretty girl ) a drink but I made sure they saw the money came out of either my pocket or my tip jar, and it was not “on the house”.

It meant more to the customer and I received much better tips as a result.

David’s not pretty enough.

Ironic that the same people remarking about the kid needing to pay for the food were howling that Michael should not have to pay for the doctor when he hurt his head in the bicycle accident a few weeks ago.

Good to see Martha back.

Is that Martha!?

Sit rep – normal

What kind of a “butt brain” indeed. (= somebody who’s got his head up it?…)

For her its okay, for him he’s a mooching butt brain…

I think Mike’s being sweet. This is cute.

Martha should pay, and tell Michael to save his money for a pair of glasses just like Elizabeth. Michael is squinty-eyed in the fourth panel.
