For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 12, 2011

Looks like everyone’s over the flu.

With a sister like that, who needs enemies.

I remember the days of easy overzealousness…

That dog doesn’t need just a brushing; he needs a BATH!

If I remember, the kids really enjoyed Uncle Phil…not so much Elly.

Those phrases are much better than other more adult phrases that he might learn from his uncle.

I remember when we all spoke that foreign language. Groovy!

Ah … if you guys read Lynn’s comments on her site (I keep saying this…) you’ll get better insight into what’s going on in the comic.

OK, I read it…….. She gave Farley away!?!?!?

summerdog, you would too if Farley was starting to get rough with your infant son. I have seen photos of the real Farley, and he’s big enough to do some real damage.

You’re right, Jan. It was just the surprise I was reacting to.

Reading your post Duckie, I was just thinking about what “sent to a new home on a farm” means around here!

Ladyfingers, this is Lynn’s real-life Farley that Lynn posted about at her web site today that we were talking about, not the cartoon Farley. We know the cartoon Farley died when his heart gave out after he rescued April from the river.

ladyfinger - colloquially when someone says ‘home in the country’ or ‘farm outside of _’ it means the animal was put down/euthanized…
