For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 04, 2020

Okay, find another girl with whom to practice. (Almost like in one episode of anime Clannad After Story where Youhei Sunohara tries to find a pretend girlfriend so his younger sister Mei would stop worrying about his future. Not much luck with Kotomi Ichinose, Yukine Miyazawa, Tomoyo Sakagami, Ryou Fujibayashi, or Kyou Fujibayashi.)

Teenage boys do not understand teenage girls…never have never will.

I wonder if Gordon and Tracy ever looked back and laughed about this arc 20 years later? I read all of the original strips but can’t remember if they ever revisited this scene.

Better being shot down in flames than being stood up.

Is Tracey already interested in Gordon at this point? Or is she just thinking it’s a silly idea?

I had a best-friend who was a boy. I was the sister he didn’t have. He would often ask me advice on how to approach a girl he liked; conversely, I’d ask him for guy-advice. He met his now-wife while we were still in high school, and I’ll tell you: I love her to death & couldn’t be happier for them.

What? Seems like a logical idea to me.

Looked good on paper.

The biggest Mystery of our Species!!

Gordie, like swimming just jump in the “water” is fine.

C’mon Tracey. It’s just for training!

girls are women doesn’t make any difference they have the Willes and that’s what counts

spoiler he doesnt know Tracy is his future wife <3

My college roommate always chased after the “hot” ladies on campus but like Gordon was to afraid to ask them for a date. I, however, dated the ladies that were in the band, choir or church. He seldom had a date and I was always out and about. He asked me how I got them to go out with me. I told him that I asked them.

That’s rough advice there, Mike. It’d just be better to ask Allyson out than ruin your friendship with Tracey.

We try, but the ladies want us to not know what they are thinking.

Friends will always help you after they finish laughing.

I hear Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” playing in the background.
