For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 12, 2023

Based on what we can see in these panels, that could have turned out far worse.

It will grow back, probably alot faster than in reality.

Looks good!

It made her face bigger that’s for sure. Although how getting a haircut also made her eyes, her nose and her mouth bigger too is a mystery to me.

April is lucky the dresser did not topple over while she is standing on a drawer. A friend’s son died when he climbed up on the drawers and it toppled over, crushing him. My friend was in the shower and didn’t hear him screaming or the dresser hit the floor. She finished showering, got dressed and walked into the room to find her son dead under the dresser, suffocated. A cop was interviewed on the news and he publicly stated that all tall furniture needs to be drilled onto walls to prevent these kinds of accidents. Kids like to climb.

And now, Elly is about to make her @$$ redder!!

Why didn’t Ellie lock up her scissors? Scissors and young children can be a very dangerous mix-literally.

Doesn’t Aypo’s left hand look like it’s drawn backwards?

Her face may look bigger but even after 3-years-old she still has no sign of any baby teeth showing yet.

What did I say!? Elly’s having kittens!

My mother said that I did something similar at the same age, and just before her sister would meet me for the first time. :D

My daughter did something like this. Then she became upset because she wanted her old hair back.

What’s also bigger are Elly’s blood pressure readings.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I did at 5.

Look on the bright side, it could’ve been a lot worse.

Mom’s, too.

amazing, it even has the same effect on your mom and she didn’t even get her hair cut. :D

April looks like a moon face

Well, by golly she did. Adorable.

If this cartoon was animated with sound, then April would have now gotten a low voice, due to cartoon physics. John and Elly would probably pull April out of day care; they cannot imagine what the other parents would say with having a 3-year old bass for a daughter!

Elly needs to call a voodoo priestess to shrink April’s head!

When I was a little kid I cut some of my hair off. Now I have rather little hair. Let this be a warning to you! And you!

It actually looks pretty good. Don’t freak out, Elly, it’ll grow back.

Wow – See I think she looks better. I wonder if there is anyone who has not at some point cut their own hair. I know I did after watching an episode of Mr. Rogers going to a neighborhood barber shoppe. As is the way of things, my mom freaked cause it was the day before school pictures and rushed me to the salon. Ah, happy memories.

An up and coming cosmetologist…

my son cut the front of his hair off when he was 6 years old took about 4 months for it to grow back and since he knocked out a tooth he really look Goofy

She actually did a pretty good job. Maybe a future hairdresser.

Not gonna lie that actually looks adorable

At least it’s not a mohawk

Eh, she looks all right.

By the way, while not quite as dangerous as playing with scissors, standing in an open drawer like that is itself a safety concern. This kid really needs to be watched more closely.

At least a cereal bowl wasn’t involved

Looks a lot like Mom.

LOL… been predicting this for days. Quick ! Grab the scissors~~

April looks like she is native to the planet Rylos from The Last Starfighter.

Not as big as Elly’s expression.

But her head will never be as big as her mother’s!

I think her hair looks fine!

I wish my child had not asked me to never post her picture or any of her family. I actually agree with her, especially the kids, but I would love to post the picture of her as a very little girl with a clearly patched up haircut, with some bangs left, and most of the rest of her hair down past her waist. I bet quite a few of us have similar pictures!

Looks good. At least she did her own hair. My daughter gave the neighbor’s son a bad haircut when they were little

oh, hi, El

Eh, I’ve seen worse.

I wouldn’t be nearly as concerned about what she does with the scissors as I would be that she is running around the house with them in her hands.

She cut it pretty well, actually.

I would be more worried about the open drawer.

She looks cute. Much better than when I cut my hair at age 6.
