For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 28, 2023

Hey, El; I’ve got your back. Literally.

The hover running. You put your right arm up tight across your chest, You stick out your right leg and away you go! Comic strip readers might be expecting motion lines around the legs, to show they are moving, but the lack of motion lines makes perfect sense with hover running.

We understand Ellie. Michael will always be that little baby boy to you no matter how old he is.;-D

Ah, Connie. Is there anything Elly can say to you without you turning it into a lecture about parenting?

One way of adapting to changing times, when you have dropped somebody off at the bus station, instead of having to run all the way back home, you could try to find a taxi stand there and take a taxi back home.

(Taxi drivers do like to wait for customers outside of bus stations.)

Yeah. They say “time heals all things”, but I call B.S. My knees know otherwise.

I feel for Elly’s sore back.

Her holding her back reminds me…I just came from my grandkids home where I was taking care of them and my granddaughter (8) said, “You’re in pretty good shape for someone with grey hair!” I’ll take it! :D

I have to see a doctor about this tendonitis before it affects my guitar playing

To everything there is a change in life.

Time to get Michael tutored and Farley neutered.

No, ladies, you can turn back the clock — it’s time that’s impossible to reverse.

The Pattersons are not perfect, nor will they be until this happens…

Michael, Elizabeth & April{in unison}: “Elly commands, we obey! Elly commands, we obey!”

Lawrence went to Ottawa? Wouldn’t a better choice have been to be with his kind in San Francisco?

Why are these two women determined to kill themselves?

Why try. Look forward to the new adventures that life will offer……

Who else here is happy that the color of Connie’s hair is fixed, so she no longer looks like young John/Michael?

Sombody cue up Cher

Nor pause it.

Elly, you are doing the best you can do. Trying
