For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 26, 2012

Good thing for John they’re in Canada, or Doris might’ve been packin’ heat!

I remember the White House drummed up an old favorite word: KNUCKLEHEADS.

Di the window shatter?

I hope the socialized medicine policy in Canada covers head wounds in the ER (and wounds elsewhere when Elly finds out that John is the culprit.)

This is the same storyline from before the re-boot.

In the black and white edition in the newspaper, I could not make out much-too much detail in #2 and #3. Makes much more sense here.

Something profoundly karmic in this….

Attagirl Doris!

From my local paper this morning. He thought she was a skunk.http://www.timesonline.com/news/police_fire_courts/police-file-charges-in-girl-s-shooting/article_6a16a379-b75a-5210-a905-b17a6dc1d503.html

Hope John didn’t swallow the fake teeth!!

That happened in Baton Rouge, not New Orleans.

Should have stopped at the first window. A frying pan over the head…yikes!

Armed, possibly, but with a long gun, not a handgun. I had no trouble bringing my rifle and shotgun when I moved to Canada, but there was a momentary problem over serial numbers – few flintlocks had them!

Shades of “Legend of the Lost”

There’s an old saying: Don’t mess with the bull or you’ll get the horns.

Seems like that’s exactly what John got when he peeped in windows trying to frighten a bunch of women at a Grubberwear party . . . Doris was the bull and the frying pan was the horns!!!!!

;-)

That’s the trouble with guns. They are too quick for slow thinkers.

Maybe the strip was a message about the proliferaton of frying pans. The statists cry about the proliferation of pans and say that no civilian ought to be allowed to own a frying pan. It becomes a national event, and obama said “If I had a son, he’d look like John Patterson”.

Several years ago Johnston “ended” her strip with all of the kids fully grown and then essentially started over. I remember this storyline in the first strip.
