For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 04, 2021

You’re just jealous Mike because you don’t get to wear one! ;D

I’ve had my stepsisters since 2007 when I was 23. Never did I tease them about their brassieres.

I wish I had a brother.

Hurray ! ! ! ! for Elizabeth ! ! ! ! Michael finally got something he deserved ! ! ! !

Be glad you didn’t have a sister like I did. When I first started wearing a bra they were somewhat padded. My sister would take them out of the dryer, put them on her head and walk around singing “Mouse-ka-boobs! Mouse-ka-boobs!” Disney was big on TV when I was going through that period of my life (before they had their own channel).

Yes, Elizabeth is growing, I hope this helps Michael to start growing too!

Mike, never underestimate the power of a woman!! EVER!!

/SMIRK/

Must be some stretchy kind of bra if it snaps like that. Well deserved for Mike. Hope she finds an athletic cup in his room or in the laundry someday.

I love that Elizabeth is attacking Michael. He certainly attacked her enough. (I still remember how someone posted here that my family was weird because my brothers never attacked me. Dang they were hostile. I wonder why, lol)

Well you asked Mike!

Of course, I’ve heard of training bras all my long life. Everyone has, no big deal. But it wasn’t until tonight, reading this comic, that I stopped to wonder: what is a training bra? Now I get it, didn’t even have to Google.

Hope Michael didn’t loose his eye

possibly my biggest dissapointment in life is never having a sister.

Tell Mike that it is a device for giving big brothers a black eye.

Reminds me of the time when my two boys ,probably 5 & 7, were fighting over a bungee with the metal hooks on the end, when the elder yelled LET GO, and he did-it was worth 3 stitches in the forehead.

Well played, Elizabeth.

Karma can be so funny at times.

Michael is an asshat, and a creep on top of it.

to knock some sense into ya.

Sorry Mike – that’s a little on the creeper side, and with your own sister yet…

I bet he feels like a boob now.

Nice!

Lynn’s Comments:

I don’t remember getting into trouble with this one, but someone was probably mad about it.

Liz wins this one ;)

WTG, sister!

Yup. Learned that lesson! A woman’s sling shot is not to be taken lightly.

You would not see this kind of discord with the neighbors. The Enjos would be happily singing “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”. They have known that one for generations.

looks like it was a double barrel sling shot!

It’s some kind of defense mechanism against creeps.

Sometimes karma just works.

Mike is a pain in the ass. Makes me glad I didn’t grow up with a brother.

Most bras were terrible things in the late 50’s. The cups were stitched in circles, and made you look pointy. Came out a wrinkled, shrunken mess when washed. We used to pad the tips of the cups with cotton, or you’d have a squashed, wadded up look in your clothes.

…..and now you know, Michael! ;o]

Someone is going to have a black eye…

Great drawing in panel 4!!

Hey now! That’s s**ual harrasment there, MICHAEL.

Snap, Crackle, Pop Lizzie’s trainer!

Liz-1 Mike – 0

Good aim. She must’ve been practicing.

She found a new use for it.

Used to tease my younger sister the same way, lol…

It’s used as a sling shot

It’s neither. That’s how pairs of beanies with chin straps come packaged nowadays. Just cut the connecting piece and separate.

THAT’S what it’s for, Mike! Ow. This reminds me of an episode of Emergency! with Randolph Mantooth (as paramedic/firefighter Johnny Gage) and Kevin Tighe (as paramedic/firefighter Roy DeSoto). Don’t know if anyone remembers that show. Anyway, the guys got a call that a woman was having trouble breathing and they get to her thinking it was because she was sick but she was like “No! Not sick! Girdle! Too tight! Squeezing me!” So then they had to cut it off because she couldn’t get it off. When he was done cutting it, it flew right into Johnny’s face. Stung his eyes a little. That was hilarious. Johnny always made my heart go pitter-pat!

He asked for it!

Years ago, our gym teacher told us to wear a training bra for protection, the same as boys had to wear the jock strap. That’s why it is called “training” because it is worn during physical training…that some girls chose to wear it all the time, it was their choice after that…

By the time my girls were that age to need this piece of clothing, it was called an athletic bra. I don’t even know if this term “training bra” is used nowadays.

A little cayenne pepper in the cup would be deserved for Michael.

It is a fool-face face-slapper!

Typical brother, but he had it coming.

I hope the comments were on Lizzie’s side and not Michael’s.
