For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 09, 2022

he’s so lucky, she’s at the seventh register

Yep. Always the romantic. All my life, I’ve never met a guy who is a true romantic, including my husband. He make sweet gestures and words but being romantic just is not in his nature. As for myself, there were only two guys I was romantic about and neither is my husband.

Now days the cashers watch the customers do their own checking and the Carrie out boys become stock boys getting in the customer’s way.

Hormones speak louder than common sense. Get use to it.

Maybe… Cupid is a cruel cruel Baby

At what age do hormones STOP kicking up??

“Rhetta—I’ll never forget her…”

All right’ YOU find a word that rhymes with “Rhetta”!!!

Rhetta never meta.. beta… If she would Id’a let her…

What tune is he singing?

I know how Mike feels. He wants a relationship but not all the drama that tends to come with it!

It’s nice to have choices, but it’s tough not to be able to make the decisions. Lots of fisherman love to fish but always release. She has a say in this also.

or you can go to walmart which has ONLY ‘self checkout’ lanes!

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.

and we all know what Janis, Kris and Fred Foster thought about freedom.

Got his mind off of food real fast…

It happens all the time.

Forgetta

A pretty face and young body, a rush of hormores… VOILA ! It must be love.

Well, Rhetta Hughes DID sing Hip Old Lady On A Honda. Throw that one into the mix and you’d have a plot faux pas for a day or two. And you’d keep the record collectors happy….. (And yes I’m fully aware this strip was written in the previous century; it’s a hypothetical suggestion).

Summer loving had me a blast

Summer loving happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy cute as can be

Summer days drifting away to oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far

Tell me more, tell me more

Like does he have a car

She swam by me she got a cramp

He ran by me got my suit damp

I saved her life she nearly drowned

He showed off splashing around

Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did she put up a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade

We went strolling drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed out till 10 o’clock

Summer fling don’t mean a thing but oh oh the summer nights.

Tell me more, tell me more

But you don’t gotta brag

Tell me more, tell me more

Cause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly holding my hand

She got friendly down in the sand

He was sweet just turned eighteen

Well she was good you know what I mean

Summer heat boy and girl meet but oh oh the summer nights.

Tell me more, tell me more

How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more

Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder that’s where it ends

So I told her we’d still be friends

Then we made our true love vow

Wonder what she’s doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights

So she must be old enough to sell bear and wine. Maybe 21 or older.

Rhetta… I wish I could write you a letta.. About you make my days so much betta

Teenage boys have just as many hormonal dilemmas as girls

Michael is infatuated with Rhetta. “Rhetta, you make things better.”
