For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 14, 2019

what ABOUT your house, Dr. Patterson (wink, wink)

How much would Michael charge John?

Why is John yelling that at the window instead of yelling it at Michael?

It’s all about the Benjamins.

If you want to use my snowblower, you clean my place first with your charge applied as rent.

Who’s paying for the gas?

Maybe Mike will do their house for free.

John told him to shovel the walks. Didn’t say anything about the drive.

Yeah Mike should take care of his parents’ house first before he serves others. He can get a free room and board for maintaining the home!

I thought that’s why he got the snow blower working, to do their walkway. He even made a path for the dog to the tree.

As others just said, “Who pays for the gas?”. Also, it’s wear and tear on the snowblower. If it should break, will Michael be chipping in for a new one? That’s no $20 item.

Lynn’s Comments:

The Bergans and the O’Gradys are both families I know well. It was fun to put their names in the paper.

News flash, John, whose property has Michael been clearing of snow? Yours! Might want to get those glasses checked, looks like it is time for a new prescription.

how about FREEroomand board!!!

Son, if you are going to use that to do others, you will pay for your own gas, oil and of course you will do our yard first, or go buy your own!

I thought this ’toon was funny just as it is.

Great Michael! Now pay up for the gas that you used.

Budding capitalist….

Michael lives there. John should charge him.

You’re just NOT GETTING IT, are you dad ?!!!!! lol

Can you blame him? He got it going on his own, without your help. You could charge him a rental fee for the snowblower OR tell him he could pay the fee by doing his own place….

I don’t have a snowblower. I enjoy the exercise of shoveling, and I have greater control over where the snow that’s moved ends up.
