For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 14, 2019

that fly is quick one

Let it land. You aren’t the Karate Kid.

Like in that BREAKING BAD episode!

Too late for that…

I always cut a 1/2" round hole in the middle of the fly swatter. It gives them a sporting chance.

God, in his wisdom made the fly.

And then forgot to tell us why.

Lynn’s Comments: I washed my fly swatter after I did this strip!

I love the faces and the action poses.

We had a cat when I was a kid, that would catch flies trapped in the windows, and eat them.

I admit I go a little crazy with a fly in my kitchen but when I see an ant crawling along the counter, I go completely nuts. Spraying the Windex spray bottle on them is very effective.

I won’t have a fly swatter around. They just spread germs like Liz is doing. There are better ways to control flies, like traps of various kinds.

Lizzie was always adorable because of her button-nose, but why do glasses make her SO MUCH CUTER?!?

It was about 45 years ago; my young wife had a goofy friend (girl) who lived in a small apartment with her kids after her divorce. This young lady was an incessant yacker who could drive any man crazy. We went to visit her one evening and as I sat at the small table in the kitchen, a fly actually flew directly through the flame of a candle that was in the middle of the table and landed a couple of inches past the candle dead! I told my wife that the fly couldn’t take the yacking any more and commited suicide!

This is why the Bug-A-Salt gun was invented!

Yes fly maggots help determine the time of death of a corpse.

The beginning of LIz’ violent years.

Butterflies, fireflies, fruit flies, moth flies, house flies — seems like GoComics has got a theme going today!
