For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 19, 2023

sure, El

Mike really doesn’t give a rat’s @$$ about anyone but himself—at least, until he reconnected with Deanna.

BTW, do we have to wait all week until April hurls that water-filled “doll” at him??

I guess you could say that Mike is playing head games with those badminton rackets.

Michael the Flithead.. Gordon the Schlub..

Never really argued with my siblings, elder brother was(and is) much more aggresive than I and by the time the younger ones were old enough to argue, I was in the Army.

The kids are getting all growed up. Fighting like adults. …no, wait. They aren’t calling their lawyers or sueing so, maybe they are still teenagers.

My dad would just tell us kids to, “fight nice”. That was 60 yrs ago though.

Fighting,

Nothing more than fighting

Trying to hold onto my anger at you

Teardrops

Rolling down on my face

Trying to forget my feelings of hate

Fighting

For all our lives I’ll fight you

I wish you’d never been born,

You’re always such a pain.

Fighting

Wo-o-o fighting

Wo-o-o fighting

Siblings fighting again.

And so it goes…..

I’m waiting for April to show up.

Ah, April and water…..really brings a sad future.

Teenagers!

They might be fighting quietly but isn’t Michael bouncing a disembodied shrunken head on his fly swatter? Kinda gross out to think but it makes you think about that horror movie where the scientist stepped into a transporter and had his head zapped onto a fly’s body because the fly was already in there. “Thungg thungg” was the fly’s attempt to say Help me!

That was low, Mike!

Here we have Elly and Connie looking out into the backyard at the three older kids and neither one of them is asking, “Where’s April?”

WTF?!!

A witch’s curse got placed on Michael. Now Elizabeth watches in shock as a giant doll head is on her brother’s shoulders, while bouncing a small Michael head on the badminton racket!

All the good stuff happens on sunday for the sunday comics

At least they aren’t making much…racket.
