For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 26, 2024

Lack of incentive has really strengthened Michael’s resolve to be responsible.

The best way to resist temptation is to remove it. I do that with cheese curl puffs….

I would have been thinking about the girls… not the guys…

Just be sure to clean up after yourself and don’t leave Elly a huge mess to come home to.

But Rhetta is still in town, heh, heh!

Not in a million years..

There’s the catch….

Only takes two for a party.

Most of the guys Mike knows are out of town! Aside from Brian who just happened to hear Mike has the house to himself early in the morning of the first day home alone. what are the odds?

Speaking of the responsibility of being a young man, Mike is already drinking this early, I wonder which Canadian beer comes in a green colored can? It can’t be Labatt’s Blue or Blue Light.

If this was Brad or Peter Fox, they would totally find a way to wreck the house with a wild party without friends!

My mother used to brag to her friends that she could leave me home alone for any length of time and the booze would remain untouched, even though it was in an unlocked cabinet. I was always a law-abiding type and wouldn’t touch booze while underage…at least, until my graduation party…but that is another story for another day.

Outside of p1, I thought (visually) Brian was Liz’s friend…

Mike thinks to himself – “But Rhetta is coming over for the two nights I have off and we’ll have the whole house to ourselves.”

Imagine what the desk of Victor Fleming looked like after all those interviews.

Mike’s drawn as if he’s 13. Did we have a time slip?

I believe Mr. “drinks out of can with his pinky in the air” has just indicated to Brian that he will not be invited to the party. Since Mike’s newest bestest friend is named Weed (hard to miss what that means), I think we know what kind of party Mike will be having and a goody-two-shoes and well-established tattletale like Brian would not be a welcome addition. Mike can play responsible and respectful to Brian, but there is no way a guy who spent most of his first year partying at college is not going to be letting 3 weeks go at his house without having his less morally fastidious friends over. I guarantee you will see Rhetta, Gordon, Tracey, and Lawrence all over at Mike’s house in the next 3 weeks, but not Brian.

Is he drinking a Molson?

“Most of the guys they know”???

Who else are they acquainted with besides Lawrence and Gordon?

What’s with the little finger?

Everybody’s workin for the Weekend !

When in doubt, pinky out!

Of course,the lawn will go unmowed for three weeks…..

Tomorrow is “Take Your Houseplant For A Walk” Day. No,seriously

So their parents can party. :)

Weekend at Mikey’s.

Your Outlook can change everything

Michael can talk while drinking? Impressive. Maybe Michael should consider a career in ventriloquism.
