For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 27, 2013

No, John! No!

Bad John, bad!

Elly doesn’t look at other guys?!?

Oh come on, man. Have some decency.

Looking is fine; being obvious and jerky about it isn’t.

On March 29 Th, I will have been married to the same wonderful woman for the last 50 years! She has never forbidden me to look all I want, however, touching would be another matter!!

That kind of teasing can get you dead. Or a night on the couch. Look all you want, just don’t let the spouse catch you looking.

Oops.

Again Lynn has bent over backwards with convoluted syntax (See anything you’d like to take out?! Who talks like that?) to make John look like a jerk. How angry was she at her husband when she wrote this strip?

I have a hunch John may be removing several books—after Ellie sticks them up unmentionable places.

rudeness and respect are obvious things John has no clue about. being so disrespectful, so blatantly ogling the “other” must do wonders for Elly’s relationship with John. if John can’t ""review the menu" without drooling, maybe he needs a bib?

DW, then don’t look it up:-)

Have some decency? Is that her name?

Despite his smile, on the inside he’s probably lamenting his lost youth, knowing he’s beyond the days and times of “wine, women, and song,” and whatever else. He’s merely looking at what he knows he cannot have.

guess who’s sleeping with Farley for the next few days??

I’ve said to my man more than once. “I don’t care where you work up your appetite as long as you always eat at home.”

YIKES! Dude needs to control his head…the other one!

Lynn’s Notes:In order to inject a bit of jealousy between my two main characters, I showed John firing off a definite ogle in the direction of Elly’s shapely co-worker, Sue. I planned to take this farther and have something of a relationship evolve between John and Sue resulting in a serious exchange amongst all three. As in other attempts to show some “straying from the fold,” I lost my nerve and never continued with the storyline.

Nothing wrong with looking. And she DID ask…..

It’s all in the timing…

Sorry @templosud i accidentally flagged you and i cant seem to unflag :( darn sausage fingers and touch screens.

John is SUCH a tool . . . a completely useless tool!!!!! :-(He KNOWS how insecure his wife is and yet he can’t quite seem to help himself. He’s either completely oblivious to her feelings or he’s doing it on purpose to deliberately upset her. Either way, he’s being a complete jerk right now.

Uh-oh……….. John is in serious doodoo…….. Been nice knowin’ ya, bud……

Why do men do that in front of their women??

panel #5 is John bent over in agony

the Library. A great place to pick out I mean to pick up something.

A guy is going to look. Women accept this. But ogling another woman in front of your own woman shows zero respect for either woman. A man who shows no discretion in public is unlikely to exercise discretion in private.

Looking is ok. My husband and I both like to look. As my son said once – “I like to window shop, but I leave the credit cards at home!”

Hey, it’s a comic strip people…..it’ll be ok.

hey hey hey only comic strip idiot

It’s the one about committing adultery in your heart.

I think he just got his “library card” revoked.

at my age lookin’ is about all I get…

Put your eyes back into your head, John! How rude!!!

John, you better do the dishes for at least a week. And maybe the laundry too!

Typical dumb male ogling an ugly blonde, even back then the blonde brainwashing prevailed..
