For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 27, 2024

Elizabeth can roam free and Elly seems unconcerned. Hello!! Anyone going to be there to make sure she doesn’t bring Anthony home while no one is around? Also why does Elly touch noses when she kisses Elizabeth?

Ah, the last day of the school term! Then, two months of blissful freedom before the grind starts again! What memories!

Let’s make sure the more important things are taken care of first!!!

No, no, no Livabeff… it’s “Can I still have the money… and can I have $5 more on top of that?”

Liz will prob want to go to mall with friends and need lunch at food court

George Carlin said that a friend offered to buy him a drink, and he replied, “No, but can I have the three dollars?”

While Elizabeth is cleaning out her locker she may find something at the bottom that is good to eat.

Probably not enough money for a non-school lunch.

Elly should answer “Why?” like when John dared Elizabeth to face an audit about raising her allowance.

Maybe “howtheduck” can find another comic strip to bicker and complain about.

And she loved her mother dearly, when asked once.

I’m not sure if I hate or like those Canadian schools. The Canadians force the students, like as in child labor, to take a scrub brush and soap, and clean the lockers? And do they even get paid for the work?

Or do they mean the kids to empty out their lockers from their personal belongings?

I mean don’t the schools have a janitor’s union?

Take the money and buy some bread, kid.

Well…. Liz does make a good point…

Give her 20 bucks, an incentive for staying in school

This is a comic with a funny punch line, not a documentary.

Last day was the best. Usually went for pizza with my friends. So she might need the money anyway.

Is Elly ever going to send the kids to summer camp again?

Teenager 101, always get the money 1st ;-)

Rookie Mistake. Take the lunch money first.

This could be a good strip for the last day of school.

Everyone is watching the clock like the ball dropping in Times Square on New Years’ Eve. Bell rings and kids run out. Elizabeth, Dawn and Anthony run out by are stopped by a teacher

Teacher: Hold it! You did not hear how the Second World War ended.

Elizabeth and her classmates stand where they are, frozen with fear

Teacher: We won!

Elizabeth & Others: YAY!! Oh Canada, oh Canada. God shed His grace on thee! And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

So many teens would have just taken the money and goofed off.

well of course you can have the money, you still have to eat lunch !
