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

Teenagers! Setting a terrible example for their little sisters (or brothers)!

Elizabeth traditionally wears formless, shapeless shirts with baggy pants. Frankly, she needs to be wearing something new.

However, I do love to see the way that Elizabeth’s mouth is open so wide it dominates her entire face as she screams. She is growing up to be just like her mother. Elly has to be so proud.

The bra seems to change significantly from panel 1 to panel 2.

Too bad they don’t have school uniforms.

Comic strips like this make me really glad I never had kids!

Preadult female partial nudity! Alert the morality squad!

This will be a hit with the minor attracted people here.

If you don’t know what to wear, I’d recommend clothes.

I don’t know of any guys who were so paralyzed by the thought of what to wear (or not to wear) that they couldn’t get dressed in the morning for school. Apparently this is a teen-aged girl issue?

Both of my daughters put great thought into their first-day outfits when they were in high school. I had no say: my older daughter’s Godmother took them both shopping every year. (Incidentally, they both have great taste in clothing.)

Ugh… Why are girls always so picky over what they wear on the first day of school?

This is why you choose what to wear the night before and have it ready for the morning.

I remember my mom telling me about my dad’s reaction when she showed him my sister’s so-called “training bra”….

Try clothes Elizabeth, it’s school, not the New York Fashion show.

NEVER FORGOTTEN

Hmmm. I couldn’t wait to wear my new stuff. I wore a uniform k-8 so it was exciting to get to wear real clothes. My mom liked uniforms better. It was cheaper and easier.

New clothes are uncomfortable in September when is warm in the classrooms

Monkey see, monkey do.

Liz should just put on some old jeans (faded and/or ripped) and an old blouse/t-shirt (with the bra on!). That should cover it for the first day, anyway. Schools in Canada might or might not have a dress code, but in America it’s the norm for schools that I’ve seen here in suburbia.

Ah, teenage logic leaking down to the baby sister!

Like Zsa Zsa Gabor,Liz has nothing to wear

Study the cafeteria menu for possible poisons

“Have kids. It’ll be fun.” – They

Elizabeth worried about what to wear? Meanwhile, Haitians are looking for food…

…oh wait, that does affect Elizabeth…

Is Edgar in the house and the door locked?

Ah yes, the endless beauty contest of life in school, no worries kids, it only gets more ridiculous when you move into the working world, at least in office jobs !

Kids! What’s the matter with kids today?

This will probably stir up a hornet’s nest. But from seeing (and hearing) the kids’ whining, it makes one want to reconsider having uniforms for school.

And this is why school uniforms in private schools are such a great thing. Nobody has to worry about what to wear every morning, and nobody needs to fear a put down because their sneakers aren’t as cool or as pricey as the next kids. And any outsider with bad intentions would instantly stand out.

Teenagers impose a more stringent dress code upon themselves than any private school or military academy.

NEWSDAY didn’t run t his strip—-somebody there was horrified at the sigh of children in their underwear

The joys of parenthood lol
