For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 16, 2019

Now Michael learns how Liz feels when he disses her…

This went from really good for Michael to really bad; fast. Now he has to be stuck in close quarters with a brother with an attitude!

Just cut your losses and get out of there Michael. You’ll have no success with these people.

Karma comes back to you when you least expect it.

I can tell already, this is going to be a great trip.

My big brother took up body building and martial arts in junior high/high school. Yeah, he intimidated the few boys who paid any attention to me. (He’s still a body builder; won the bronze medal in the Mr. Natural Universe pageant, standing-disabled division. “Natural” means the bodybuilders abstain from performance-enhancing drugs; “standing-disabled” means that he had a brace on his leg due to a near-fatal accident.)

Dustball must be a Canadian term, eh?

LOL! That older teen reminds me of Michael!

Sometimes liking the girl doesn’t mean liking her family.

Karma.

His come back should be “so you can now Stan Dup on two feet eh?”

Now you know why it’s called “for better or worse”.

Great. A big brother. Lesson #4 always take your girl friends side in the inevitable argument that is going to happen.

My wife’s brother wasn’t great either… but she’s well worth the in-laws.

Lynn’s artwork is amazing. She creates new characters that you somehow recognize just by looking at them. Brilliant work.

Mike’s shorts now have a front seam and a fly. A couple of day’s ago they looked like pull on style.

Karma, karma, karma, Karma chameleon!

Too bad Martha doesn’t have any sisters. Bet they would be cute.

On a different note, why is Martha the only one in their bathing suit already? They are still unloading the car.

that’s Mr. Dustball to you

Stan’s “family jewels” need a good “crack” Mike, and your fist is the thing to do it!
