For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 30, 2014

Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend. I have always thought that it’s a crime, so I will ask you once again.

Can Ted possibly be this full of himself? Or is he as smart as a box of rocks?

Gee, Ted, what was your first clue of Connie giving you negative responses?

Ted is as sharp as a bowling ball. And just as thick.

Oh, Gosh !!! I’ve met this guy Ted. And, yes, he was this dense.

Emphatically.

Ted, there is a very trusty old saying, ‘TAKE A HINT’ ! ! ! ! ! !

Ted is denser than the rocks, think more along the lines of a couple of pounds of lead.

Panel two. Where’s the ring???

Get a clue you dumb lunk!

Go home to Mommy, Ted. Your services are no longer required.

I once knew a young woman who had this conversation with an ex-boyfriend—even though she was married and had a baby. The ex just didn’t believe she didn’t love him anymore.

What was your first clue Ted?

What are the odds he’ll, in the future, say it was Connie’s fault they couldn’t get together? dork.

Too little too late.

John led Ted to his house because he didn’t know Connie is now engaged to someone else. Connie just told Elly so Elly is currently the only person who knows. Connie needs to just spill it and say she’s engaged. She got lucky with Greg who turned out to be a good husband. Ted is such a loser.

I happy for you Ted, you have gotten exactly what you deserved.

Oh Ted there are so many sexy men out there. See if you can hook up with the gym teacher. He will show you a few of his wrestling holds.

Elly should have replied, “That wouldn’t have been a dream, that would have been a nightmare!”
