For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 26, 2019

what killed the dinosaurs, Elizabeth? certainly not T-rex and stegasauraurus and others forgetting their glasses

I like that Elizabeth doesn’t go crying “Waaahhh!” until the camp lady tells her that she will have to ask her mother for help. Elizabeth knows exactly what will happen then and it won’t be pretty.

I guess your Mom is going to have to put a name tag on your glasses for the future.

All the drawings I have seen of dinosaurs were without their glasses. I guess that tells the story.

Lizard in the sky, with glasses!

They lost their hearing aids and didn’t hear the “Duck! A meteor is coming!” warnings.

It’s time like these I’m glad I had to wear my glasses full time. kinda hard as I got older and ended up in coke bottle lenses, but I ALWAYS had my glasses.

Kids say the darndest non sequitur things.

For a little kid in this situation it feels like the end of the world.

I saw another comic that showed it was smoking that did them in.

Yes it did, cause they couldn’t “see” the signs of their impending demise.

That teacher doesn’t wear glasses, much less ones her parents paid for.

Lizzie’s having a panic attack about something as small as losing her glasses really reflects Elly’s parenting style.

When I was Liz’s age back in the 80s, my glasses were over $500 a pair. You be your sweet bippy I would have thrown a fit if the teacher refused to let me look for them. It happened once, and mom demanded the school replace them (private school) because they did not make any effort to help me find them.Then there was the girl that broke a pair. That was another explosion. The other kids left my glasses alone after those two incidents.

OH go on and take her back to look for them…..do you have any idea how much glasses cost!!!

Didn’t a crashing spaceship cause the dinosaurs to go extinct, or at least into hiding?

Smoking in the boy’s room is what killed off the dinosaurs.

The end of the World as she knows it. She needs those glasses. A giant meteor, a huge flush of methane and maybe some other calamity did them in.

The way Elizabeth’s mother overreacts to everything, combined with her high blood pressure, makes it hard for Elizabeth to tell her mother something. When Elly hears about the missing glasses, she is going to blast off. Tomorrow’s headlines will read:

CANADIAN LANDS ON MOON

50 years later better than never!
