For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 08, 2023

CUTE!

Remember the PEANUTS episodes where Lucy was concerned about the earth getting worn down?

Ohhh…. so that’s how its done !

And when you are two or three years old, doing that makes a lot of sense.

How are the Canadians doing with all these fires and smoke? Here in NJ (Right next to NYC) its horrible! Sun is a beet red, and it looks like a scene out of Stephen Kings the mist!

And making those garbage cans heavier. Which will lead the trash collectors’ union to demand higher salaries, which will mean higher taxes for “Aypo’s” parents.

I feel the earth spinning a little faster.

Quite some rumble in their yard, living close to a volcano?

From Lynn’s Comments: When I was a single mom, I went out with some very nice men. This happened on a picnic date. My son was putting rocks into a garbage can and my friend said, “Whatcha doing, Aaron? Making the world lighter?” I didn’t stay with the man…but his sweet comment stayed with me.

Kinda like when Professor Chaos tried to “flood the world” by turning on a garden hose and just letting it run.

Oh oh! If this keeps up I’d hate to be the poor garbage collector who has to pick up the Patterson’s garbage can today!

Talk about irony; a strip released on the day Canada is the world’s biggest polluter.

Well crap. I’d very much like to know why, but I’ll probably never hear the answer.

April, did you se this installment of “Brewster Rockit” by any chance? https://www.gocomics.com/brewsterrockit/2023/06/08?ct=v&cti=1393413

What happened to April’s head? The last time we saw her she used Elly’s scissors to make her head bigger! :)

There should have been one more strip about Anthony, Dawn and Elizabeth, which could go like this:

Elizabeth walks into the classroom with a smug, content look

Elizabeth{talking to herself}: “I am so glad everything is back in joint with Dawn and Anthony. If you cannot make friends and get a boyfriend, what the point of school?”

Blackboard: GEOGRAPHY TEST TODAY

Elizabeth’s mood changes fast, as her mouth opens up like the drawer of a cash register realizing she spent so much time on Anthony she forgot to study!

It makes a lot of sense in Washington

Aypo’s making Stone Soup.

Oh, now it’s not “Aypo making earth lighter”?

No, because the garbage can is still on the Earth’s surface. You’d have to send matter into space to have that effect—and a whole lot more than those few stones to make it noticeable.

Good. Earth has been putting on a few pounds lately.

Wait. Rocks on the ground make the earth darker?

Toddler logic.

Nice … that should allow the Earth to spin quicker. No need to go to the carnival … wahoo!

if u go back far enough same comic just black & white

April cut her hair on May 12, 27 days later it’s all grown back.

Ah, the wisdom of a toddler. The ability to understand very basic concepts but not put those concepts to practical use. Enjoy it while it lasts April, for now is when unicorns not only exist but they can fly.

Little cutie pie, you need to throw some politicians in that bin to make the earth lighter, I guess.

Having studied geology, the rocks eventually subside into the earth’s mantle, where they are superheated into magma. The magma that is not erupted through pyroclastics will rise again to the earth’s crust and cool back down into sedimentary rock. The process recycles itself.

That’s big thinking for a four-year-old.
