For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 25, 2023

I’m seeing getting closer to the couch in John’s future.

Wrong way to say it

And thus does John enter the world of infinite trouble.

……..and this is how he died.

When your behind shooting yourself in the foot does not help!

“Fine. Then you can sleep down in the basement with your saggy friend” (Door slam!)

Oh you are definitely getting a new couch…..

…..and then the argument started. . .

Elly will just do what she wants—regardless of others’ feelings and opinions.

John, you broke the rule, No talking about Love Handles.

Oh, John, when will you learn to think before you speak?

John, you always know just what to say.

Mother always wanted a leather couch. Finally got it and hated it. Cold in winter, sticky in summer.

Be careful what you wish for. I have carte blanche since the tweety bird yellow ceiling fiasco.

Bad response, should have thought that one out for a minute because now he will be sleeping on that couch for a night or two.

Tell Farley to, “Move it on over. The Big Dog is movin’ in.”

We had a new home built for us 7 years ago. My sole contribution to the design was the light fixture over the kitchen island. The rest was up to Mrs. Now I tell everyone it is Mrs home, I just live there.

Maybe John likes the funky smell that an old couch acquires?

Watch your tongue, Johnny

That happened with two Marines I knew who bought an old couch from the thrift shop.

Marine #1: “All right! Can you imagine a better price than $50 for an awesome furnishing like this?”

Marine #2: “How about $0? My mother donated this piece of junk to the Salvation Army a month before I enlisted!"

He will get lots more experience sleeping on the couch.

Oops!

Excellent choice of words there John. Now she is sure to by the most expensive couch in the entire store. Well played. Next time why don’t you finish the conversation by singing this little ditty.

It made sense in his head.

He was doing so well up until that last statement.

John’s already shaky position just dropped out the bottom of the scale ! ! ! !

Made a verbal misstep, John.

Well, …nice move Romeo. You’re destined to get way more couch time with talk like that.

Elly is giving you the death glare, John! Cooperate and help her choose a new couch!

All that means is that John is a cuddler, and the couch and the wife conform to him, she is there to serve and worship him…Ephesians 5:22-30: Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Which means in the world of the wife…Your Husband is GOD! People do not yell at me for this. Yell at God, Allah, etc. This are HIS Laws and it seems the only people that really understand this are the Muslims..Those guys know how to treat their women, Once the blood flows you can only see the whites of their eyes! Again not my rules, My feelings are we were made nude, came into the world nude and that is how it should be. The Naturists will always win this one! Take those clothes off and finally be FREE PEOPLE!!

Open mouth, insert foot…

LOL… Glad he loves the couch. Bet they are going to be even closer in the future.

Smooth, John.

Go to a used furniture store and get another couch for the basement…

I have a bad feeling about this.

it’s been nice meeting you John…….

I can’t tell you how many times something I thought did not come out right when spoken aloud. Usually followed by “oops, that didn’t come out the way I meant it.”.

Elly can’t afford any of this on her salary from the library. What is she going to do to get the money; send Farley to the dog fights?

Oops – WRONG!

The Pattersons just got done with one catastrophe, but that is no guarantee there will not be any more. What if Elly loses her job? She is not doing anything to save for a rainy day.

Watch him say “Oh no you don’t, Elly! I am not bailing you out this time. Your name is on that contract, and it gets paid out of the money you make from your job!”

Ohhh! He really stepped in it this time! LOL

Spending John’s money is Elly’s cocaine.

You’re not getting rid of the couch, it will still be in the house and you can sleep on it whenever you please.

John… OMFG….

It’s a male compliment nonetheless….

Elly is like the government; spending other people’s money.

Still trying to figure out why replacing a worn-out couch requires new wallpaper.

Why does the old saggy couch look like an old saggy chair in the last frame?

Somewhere. Beyond the sea, a couch’s waiting for me.

The last frame doesn’t look like a couch.

If looks could kill, John would be reaping his eternal reward right about now.

I know where John’s sleeping tonight.

Did someone open a window? I feel a chill…

Wrong answer there John!!!

Good thing you like it…

Better get that foot out of your mouth,John,or that couch will be your permanent home
