For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 30, 2023

Now we know why the Sunday strip was what it was.

Yes, April. Everyone wants you to run up and down the street naked with a cowboy hat. I am not sure how much reverse psychology is at work here.

All of those terrible 2’s that last all the way through the teenage years

Should have switched this strip with Saturdays.

Aypo is learning well.

Just wants to be contrary! That’s okay, she’ll assert herself.

Elizabeth knows the ropes, she’s pulled them herself!

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY TIME!

Did John wake up with a pig nose from stealing April’s Halloween candy?

be a cowboy ladybug

Great use of reverse psychology, Nivabeff!

Some people are born contrary, and some people come into it over time. I agreed to be contrary.

I’m glad Elizabeth has gotten ‘comfortable’ with her hair cut. In my opinion, it sure improved her looks ! ! ! 1

Elizabeth showing just why she will become a teacher and a good one at that. Well done Miss Edwards, well done.

Learning the pain and the power of independence.

Too true to be funny!

We saw you trick or treating in the ladybug costume yesterday.

A cowboy / ladybug hybrid would be innovative

Nice reverse psychology Nivabeff.

How about being a stay-at-home brat with a spanked butt???

Liz has April all figured out..

Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

Go as a mosquito—-they’re both pests

If only April would get a new hairstyle too; looks like she’s wearing a string mop.

So be a Ladybug Cowboy, why don’t you?

Since comments are blocked on 9 Chickweed Lane, I’m asking elsewhere. Does anyone know why GC no longer updates the classic version? I actually prefer it to the more recent ones.

This is a girl with a future in child care

So this is a rerun. Didn’t the word COWGIRL exist back then?
