For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 26, 2009

While I trip over the rug on my way to see Mom…

You did a lonely friend a service, you had some fun, you returned home to a loving family and life is good. You handled the evening very well John.

Ted’s trying to climb up the wrong side of the stairs.

AliKzam, maybe Ted decided to sleep downstairs.

Are all guys’ nights out like that? YUCK!

Sadly, ej, that was one of the better ones. The ones that end in a trip to the hospital are the worst.

Ted is so jealous of John. Anybody who constantly “makes fun” of you for having something is always envious and wishes they had it, too.

Oh, I was hoping to see Ted’s mommy. I thought she might rag on him for being out so late.

…and John now learns to appreciate what he has instead of always fantasising like Ted.

(so the strip-thread has basically been a variation of The Country Mouse and the City Mouse)

All is well, except for Ted. Wicked hangover coming up.

ted might be the exception to the hang over , he drinks all the time so it may not effect him

I hope Michael will not smell Daddy’s breath after Daddy kissed Michael’s cheek. John, you should use mouth wash before you kiss your kids.

Oh yes, hide the fact that you had one beer from your kids!!LOL LSHIAOTFPMP! When did americans become so puritanical? Go read HOWL fer Christ’s sake and yours!

Only way to keep from being sued by a person who she used for her characters. I love her strip.

channce COOL avatar!! Where did you find it?

Channce you really need to get out more. All you do is post to difference strips. Come on, don’t you have a life?

~ Well, gosh, I think that would apply to most of us here. Why just single out Channce? The weather is still pretty bad in a lot of places, and people are still spending a lot of time indoors at their computers.

kittylover2, I post to various strips on here because I like to, and I’ve made some “friends” here, and YES I HAVE A LIFE! I’ve been reading comics since I was 5.

And your on here because … ?

marg, yes when summer gets here, I’m trying to figure out how to fit everything in and still read my beloved strips! And “talk” to people!

Married for over 26 years, haven’t had a night out with the boys in 26 years, Would rather spend my time with my family. Sorry Ted, but you lose. John, you got your priorities on right. And how do we know the jon didn’t rinse his mouth out.

ooooooooooooooooooooookaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I grew up with a dad that drank all the time, often spending money on drinks for himself and his friends, leaving no money for food for our family.

I also remember him coming in drunk, sometimes angry & yelling at my mom, even hitting her, but other times he’d come in and kiss us kids on the cheek and I remember the smell of the alcohol.

Way too many people in America and other countries suffer from alcoholism. I don’t think it’s being “Puritanical” to think maybe it’s good for parents to avoid alcohol breath on their young kids.
