For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 22, 2022

I am not sure if John would want his baby going through Lawrence’s car wash. Some guys with expensive cars prefer the hand wash. This may be where the story is going. Michael gets the car washed and the washer scratches the car and John loses his mind.

With my associate’s version of the rewards card from the grocery store at which I’m employed, my father wants to use it at the store’s gas station for discounts. I don’t mind because I don’t drive.

What an abrupt change from the Mike/Rhetta/Lorne arc!!

But I’m glad; that arc was becoming monotonous, anyway.

:) this is a change

Early, if unteitonal, signs Lawrence will be an excellent buisnessowner some day.

Adulthood scares everybody

Hmmm, Have you ever noticed that nearly every convenience store describes themselves as handy? I mean what if you wanted to shop at a hard to find convenience store? Or an out of town convenience store? Or even a leggy or army convenience store.

Holy cow… Five bucks for all that?? …. Is gas $1.29 per gallon too?

It’s easy to be a salesman if you’re selling something people want. All you have to do is make people want what you’re selling. …ha. Wanna buy a duck?

Those car wash brushes are abrasive. Hand wash to save your car’s paint and finish.

Interesting change from the current story arc. I know from past strips whom Mike eventually marries, but I was just thinking as to I wonder what ever happens to his current crush in “the future”.

Jerry Lewis’THE ERRAND BOY==1962 had an interesting“car wash gag”>Maybe it’s on You Tube.

I love that he said “pop” and not soda! That’s what I say, too! It really depends on what part of the country (or Canada) you come from. I guess they say pop over there! :D

We all know in what industry Lawrence eventually makes his career, and it isn’t as a salesman. I think this strip shows how smart and articulate he can be. The boys are growing up.

Gordon has his act together and Lawrence is discovering a potential new career. The only character with his head up his as is Michael. He is not thinking about the aspects of his new job, only how to get laid with the new girl. News flash Mike, that is not going to impress anyone on the academic review board of a first-rate college.

The brushes in the auto-car washes are brutal… Plus, if dirty, they can actually scratch your clear coat…. NOT good.
