For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 17, 2022

oh, the urge of want to date

I identify with the guy who has been trying to get Lizzie to notice him.

Humans have colonized this planet therefore space has been colonized

Rhetta and Tracey and Gordon and Mike. That sounds like a fun time. How will Rhetta react if Gordon goes all “hormone attack” watching Tracey in her volleyball uniform? Could be a fun time. I can hardly wait to read this story from master storyteller Lynn Johnston.

I mean both things happen eventually, one in this strip one elsewhere. Well it waa gonna but mars turned out to be sapient.

I wonder if Rhetta’s brother will be tagging along.

“….**siiiigh**…. Some day, I hope my family and friends destroy someone else’s marriage to push some gross, creepy, whiny, loser on me… because that’s who my parents think I should marry…..”

Patiance is a virtue few appreciate until we need it from others.

Don’t rush it Liz, all in due time.

Liz looks very grown up in a turtleneck.

Liz would do well to learn confidence. That can just shine.

Trust me, Elizabeth, it is all for the best. What if Jimmy Savile was interested in you?

SPOILER—-When Liz got into a romantic triangle in a town with less than 100 people living in it,that’s where I drew the line

That’s a bit of his neck.

Elly or John could tell Lizzie to not be in such a hurry to grow up; but alas, it probably wouldn’t have much impact, because hormones and teenage angst. :→

Elizabeth, if you need help with boys, go to your parents, or a trusted adult like Miss Edwards. Do not take Michael’s advice, he spells sex 9-7-6!

Cheer up, girl, the colonization of space IS happening…I read that a NASA mission in relatively low orbit now has to have a special system to find and do special little jet burns to avoid all the unusable and cast-off satellites and space junk in that region of space. So, no worries, humankind is fulfilling its eternal mission to trash any environment it inhabits and uses. Which, by the way, began in the Stone Age as people wiped out animals and plants in their environs and had to then move away. This is the reason that humans, although from Africa, kept spreading out and colonized the whole Earth before the end of the Stone Age!

Where’s her confidence?

Lizardbreath has a secret admirer, she just needs to open her eyes and notice.

I like Michael being nice and supportive to his sister albeit opposite of his usual M.O.
