For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 01, 2021

you sure had a fun day, Mike

Who’s the girl in the green swimsuit? And And how much more of her did Mike see in the car?

Michael and Gordon with two very attractive girls we have never seen before and will never see again. All day at the beach and then a party going into the night and the lovemaking under the full moon looking over the water. Is this a dream sequence? If the car could talk, it would say, “These boys had the best day of their lives!”

What she wouldn’t give for the GPS history in modern cars.

Other Gordon being an idiot and sitting on top of the car nothing bad. As long as that was soda in the cans.

Look on Amazon. You can find some dandy spy cameras and a GPS locator to tell you where it is and where it was.

You don’t want to know, El.

Or if other drivers on the road could talk, some of them would say, “The minute I heard that unbelievably annoying and selfish ‘thud boom’, it literally sucked the joy right out of my day”.

Too bad boys can’t skip the teen years.

This is before Dash Cams or you would know.

If my car could talk it would probably ask for a teenager to drive it once a week. I don’t get out much.

Many years ago a very wise Kansas City Star reporter suggested, while the camera guy was shooting us on top of a building, that it’s best our parents not know where we’ve been.

Don’t think you want to hear that conversation Mom

Don’t ask don’t tell.

… it would tell him what his girlfriend had been doing in his car while he was in the army.

Be happy that it doesn’t……

In 1951 Never had that kind of ‘music’ noise. My mother’s car was an Austin A-40 with sun roof. Had to give hand signals for turns according to PA laws. The Austin had clever flip out lighted turn signals between front & back window frame. PA said these were illegal & my father had to disconnect them. I reached up through sun roof opening to make turn signals instead of reaching out of driver’s window.

Hope Michael remembered to lower the volume on the stereo!

You wouldn’t want to know.

She seems more concerned about her car being back safely than her son.

Looks like Mike is over Martha dumping him.

Michael’s over Martha? Good. When do we get to meet the new girlfriend?

Gordon has come a long ways from his fainting days.

Good thing my parents car couldn’t talk. They would not have been happy.

Gordon, that moronic slob, sitting on the roof of the car… idiot.. And does he ever take that stupid hat off?

Trust me, you don’t want to know. Just be glad they both came back in one piece.

The car would say “twang boom boom thud!”

It’s still his mom’s car. :-D

Yes, then when you ask how Michael spent his day, it can say “NONE OF YOUR D—- BUSINESS!”

Love the art work: particularly the panel with the “changing rooms closed” sign which made me look closer— aha, the girl holding a towel over the car while the other girl, which you can also see if you look closely, is changing inside.

Wow, that’s almost exactly like a day I had, when I was a teenager… except for the girls, the beach, the making out, and the car. Oh, wait…

Michael and Gordon sitting in the car

K-I-S-S-I-N-…Gar?

Oh well… never mind.

Most parent’s ask that of their car same question.

“ Michael! WHAT is the BRA doing in the car?!!???”

I hope he remembered to turn the radio off so she doesn’t turn on the car and blasted with the loud music. Assuming this is one of those cars where you had to turn the knob to turn it off which would lower the volume at the same time. If not, then I hope he turned the volume down.

If only you could hide a camera in your car… There IS a reason why the Foxes don’t trust Peter with driving!
