For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 11, 2024

April GO AWAY!

Note that April does not want to play with Edgar because he is outside. She knows that Edgar has been taught 3 ways to get back in:

1. Bark at squirrel

2. Dig in garden.

3. Chuck April in the ravine water.

It makes perfect sense to me why April would not want to be outside with Edgar.

So pick the little pest up, deposit her outside your room, close the door, and lock it. there are some advantages to being bigger.

This is the second comic strip where April has driven Elizabeth to cursing. Maybe her motivation is to get an education in those words.

Take her by the hand, lead her out into the hall, shut your bedroom door, and either lock it or shove a chair under the door knob. I had 2 younger sisters, born when I was 11 and 14. I had a lot of experience with things like this. lol

What else are little sisters for besides driving big sisters crazy? Bless their little innocently-evil hearts.

They learn so quickly, don’t they.

She’s a genuine brat! And where the he11 is Elly?

Unless they share a room (and since Elizabeth says MY room, they don’t) she has every right to order April out of her room. She doesn’t have to put up with her being there if she wants to be alone. So tell her to either leave under her own power or be carried out!

Liz shoudn’t complain. April is doing to her what she used to do to Michael.

Didn’t Elizabeth do similar things to Mike when she was younger? The wheel of life repeating itself.

Looks like we’re back to the Ay-po that is childish and inarticulate.

April showers…

Maybe this comic is outdated, but couldn’t Liz just type the message on her mobile phone which I believe is called texting.

I don’t think April has watched enough Sesame Street at her age yet to be a proficient reader of teenage texting.

If she makes her sister cry would that be April showers

Could be, she wants to be with her big sister.

April is annoying. She reminds me of so many little kids that join sitcoms when the kids in the cast get too old to be “cute.” Nobody needs or wants them. April is the “Cousin Oliver” of FBFW.

Does Liz’s room not have a lock??

April, please get out of your sister’s room.

Bar of soap and Mom inbound.

April ‘showers’ seem to be hanging around longer than desired.

April picks up stuff quickly.

To big of an age difference

Nothing is more exciting to someone the age of April than the forbidden.

LOL… Siblings love to annoy each other.

If this oops baby April had been conceived in the US in 2023, John and Elly could be excused as they had no “reproductive health options”.

But they live in Millborough, Canada.

What is Elly’s excuse not for getting rid of the oops baby?

Go into April’s room and start fiddling with her things.

What a brat

first panel with her chin in her hands and elbows on knees is adorablebe nice eliz ===. we almost lost her

Gotta love it, little kids always know how to be truly annoying! It’s their super Power !

It’s the age-old struggle…

Gently escort the little one out your door, close door and lock it.

Hey Liz? She’s small enough that you can pick her up, carry her out of the room, and close the door.

Ah the joys of having a younger sibling, right Lizzardbreath?

Liz becomes a superhero and April can be her sidekick
