For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 27, 2021

No kidding.

Get off your a$$es and clean it up. Your arms and legs aren’t broken.

Maybe you should call your mom facetime and ask her when they are coming home.

I hope the plan is for them to clean up a little bit at least.

We have seen Michael’s room before where he just throws food on the floor after he is done with it. Apparently they all act that way when Elly is not around.

Shame on all of you!!

When Michael and dad were home alone, when the rest went to the farm, it didn’t get dirty like this.

Call professional maid-service. Tell them it is an emergency — Mom is coming Home and we need help big-time.

Jeez. Clean up the mess already. When my youngest was a toddler, I would wait until an hour before the wife got home from work to clean up the living room. Other wise, I would have to do it twice.

Gee… Really? What gave it away?

Well isn’t it nice to see that Dad, Liz, and the baby are happily settled into their home as well. (Domestic bliss without the clean freak around is the life!)

Ohhh, you azzholes, especially YOU, Mr. Train Freak… Elly is going to scream her head off, and this time I agree with her.

It’s time to pick up a broom

I gotta feeling mom ain’t gonna be happy when she comes in the door.

This is how you honour your wife and mother?

Mom is the original roomba. Best clean up a little before she goes BOOM-ba.

Farley seems strangely relaxed.

dad should assign those kids chores and make sure they follow through

Goodness, I’m impressed with how seriously y’all take this comic!

Mom is going to have a stroke, or finally feel needed, for me a stroke with anger.

This would be seriously funny if it wasn’t the God awful truth!!!!!

wow that’s a depressing scene. They all know how to clean; wanna bet they do a speed run before Ellie gets home?

Think how sad Elly will be if she comes home to this mess. She just spent how many days pawing through her parent’s clutter, and now has to face cleaning up after her DH and offspring. I know I would do it, but then I’d sit down and cry a while.

The man sits on his ass and does nothing to keep it clean. Kids and father needs a good ass whooping. He’s the one that is to blame.

Reminds me of that Michael Keaton and Teri Garr 1983 movie, except Keaton is still employed as a dentist and Garr as a housewife/librarian. (I’m referring to Mr. Mom, everyone.)

Welcome back, Mom……

Liz is looking for a specific time when mom will be home. Like 2 days or 1 week. Surely John must have some idea when his wife will return.

Two adults, 1M, 1F, and two cats live in my house. I (F) put up a sign that said ”clean something, anything”…it didn’t work.

She was eating watermelon the other day like a woman in blackface! What happened, did the miss Elly having her minstrel period?

Good that Mom is on vacation.

Liz, get a shovel and use it!

Well, DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

WOW! Man, Liz has cute … legs.
