For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 30, 2021

time for a wild ride

GTA: Canada

It could be worse, it could have been Calvin and Hobbes in the car.

Wow, Gord. Talk about overstepping.

We knew some disaster was going to happen.

Yep. This happens when you have a teenage boy and his friends.

Call the cops

Dumb idea, Gord. If she call the cops, you won’t be getting your license. And I suspect Michael is going to be grounded. A long time.

Dumb idea leaving the key in the ignition!!!

All we do is drive

Someone is going to be grounded until they are 18.

At least it cranked

Lynn’s Comments:

This is one of the first instances where we see Gordon’s interest in vehicles.

Uh oh! That’s is a great way to insure you never get to drive your Moms car again.

Some folks know/respect no boundaries. Even if Elly DID stupidly leave the keys in the ignition, Gordo is more than old enough to respect another’s property and contain himself accordingly.

Oh wow! Michael you and friend so much trouble.

Now what would make this even more entertaining is if Flithead Gordo were to smash into another car..

The keys had to be left in to set up the storyline. Elly was forced to do it by Lynn.

Gordy: Car Jacker!

I hope you got your insurance before driving it off the lot…

Dumb idea leaving the key and the kid in the car!!!

John will probably have Gordon arrested and charged with car-theft. He never did like Michael’s friends.

I’ve had friends like Gordon. They soon became ex friends. You don’t need friends that do these kind of things.

Gord has a bad case of brains on hormones.

Say goodbye to your lessons, Mike! Like, FOREVER!!!

Back when comic originally ran the courts weren’t practicing “catch and release” and anyone in the burbs or rural areas safely left their keys in the car. Not so anymore, too bad we’ve gotten to this.

cue the ominous music

OMG! What a cliffhanger!

Maybe Gordon will back into a mailbox, or a fire hydrant, and dent the car, before he can do something stupider. Either way Ellie will blame Michael. He’s screwed!
