For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 27, 2021

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammserstein’s South Pacific, anyone?

John is “just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking her to take a walk with him.” How can Elly resist?

Savor the days you have together.

Gotta get your priorities straight.

This is sweet but John wouldn’t like it if he was in the middle of drilling someone’s teeth and Elly wanted him to stop and take her for a walk.

I could never understand “crisp night.”

Does Ellie even KNOW how to slow down?

Considering how much Elly has on her plate, it’s surprising that John hasn’t sought companionship elsewhere.

There is much power in walking arm-in-arm with someone you love. You don’t even have to talk. Just being there is enough.

Great,great cartoon. To amethyst52 and rekam, my sincerest sympathies.

Panel 4: That’s actually John’s friend Ted who is single…

Beautiful

Well, that worked. Sometimes even the comics need slow walk in the fresh air.

Yes. You have lots of work to do. You will always have lots of work to do. But it will keep. Make time for one another now, because someday you won’t have any more time together.

Hell would freeze over before anyone would ever ask me to go for a nice, evening walk. Well, except the dog…the dog would ask.

She’d say yes and have you stay and watch the kids.

Carpe noctum! Life is way too short folks. No guarantees!JT sings, ‘shower the ones you love with love, show them the way that you feel’.Wonderful message here, great cartoon. Thanks!

My husband and at times I would walk on a weekend. when he retired his 36 years of work took a toll on his lower back, move up from 12 years now he needs a walker. The age he is now I should not need a walker.

Love the couple. Wonder how many such couples exist in real world.

Nice

Ah yes, seems like old times…walkin’ with my gal.

Rarely would happen outside the comics though…..

It’s all about your priorities.

Amen

Good point, John.
