For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 12, 2024

Those things kids do…

Lynn Johnston was obsessed with naked April stories. This is just one of many she has already done and will do.

She stopped them just before they were about to trade hair.

From Lynn’s Comments: In kindergarten, I turned a hide and seek game into a bit of chaos by taking off all my clothes in the closet where I was hiding. The teacher was not amused and expelled me from her class. I remember my mom accepting the news with resignation. I guess this had been “the last straw.”

Why does Becky have two eyes just above her rear end?

Umm… We can explain?

I just want to know what’s going through the teacher’s shocked mind… “Were they playing doctor???”

The Doublemint Twins?

A Lil early to come out of the closet

Pre schoolers haven’t developed a sense of shame yet. And the teacher would not be surprised either, just get them dressed quickly.

Playing doctor without knowing it???

Well at least it wasn’t a boy and April

a good follow up to yesterday’s nude Family Circus

Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter

With all the news that is news across the nation

On the scene at the pre-school

There seems to have been some disturbance here

Pardon me, boy, did you see what happened?

Yeah, I did

I’s standin’ over there by the play dough, and here they come

Running through the Lego’s

Through the blocks and pretend people, naked as a jay bird

And I hollered over t’ Susie

I said, “Don’t look, Susie!”

And it’s too late, she’d already been incensed

boogity, boogity

(There they goe) boogity, boogity

(And they ain’t wearin’ no clothes)

Oh yes, they call them the Streaks

(Boogity, boogity)

Fastest things on four feet

(Boogity, boogity)

They’re just as proud as they can be of their anatomy

And their gon’ give us a peek

Oh yes, they call them the Streaks

(Boogity, boogity)

They likes to show off their physiques

(Boogity, boogity)

If there’s an audience to be found, they’ll be streakin’ around

Invitin’ classroom critique

This is your action news reporter once again

And we’re here at the nap station

Pardon me, son, did you see what happened?

Yeah, I did

I’s just in here gettin’ my nap rug out

An’ they just appeared out from behind the cubbies

Just come streakin’ around the snack table there

Didn’t have nothin’ on but a smile

I looked over there, and Susie was gettin’ her a cold drink

I hollered, “Don’t look, Susie!”

But it was too late, she’d already been mooned

Flashed her right there in front of the Winnie the Pooh poster

boogity, boogity

(They ain’t lewd) boogity, boogity

(They’re just in the mood to run in the nude)

Oh yes, they call them the Streaks

(Boogity, boogity)

They likes to show their bare cheeks

(Boogity, boogity)

They’re always makin’ the news

Wearin’ just each others tennis shoes

Guess you c

Delightful week with April! Sure beats reading about Elizabeth’s High School melodramatic sagas.

Today, they would call the cops and they both would be hauled off in handcuffs.

This reminds me of when my son and all his 10-year-old buddies decided swapping one of their shoes for someone else’s was a great game.

All of us parents thought that was cute. Until Steven’s shoe ended up in our houses, that game crashed then.

They are now friends for life

Becky is off to a great start if she is going to be the Taylor Swift of Canada.

Female pop singers go on stage half-naked; the leotard being their attire of choice.

Shake shake shake

Shake shake shake

Shake your booty

Shake your booty!

Shake shake shake

Shake shake shake

Shake your booty

Shake your booty!

Show Grandma fainted on the floor!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

That backside will be red tomorrow.

Coming soon: April’s first spanking!

At least they are both girls. No anatomy class here

LOL… gotta love little kids.

Why would the old dinosaur teacher look shocked? Assuming she’s always been a teacher and didn’t just start – she’s had to have seen naked kids thousands of times. What is it with prudes – it’s just skin.

Canadians are sensible. Americans are weird.

Funny comic today, kids will be kids, but the horrible comments by the usual ones make the comment section very unpleasant, people need to grow up or leave this comic.

I had a semi-similar situation concerning swim trunks except I got picked on and they were called “Mickey Mouse Underwear” (but they really were swim shorts).

NEWSDAY chickened out and subbed another strip.But I remember this one well—-and Lynn repeated the gag at Lizz’s wedding as she closed things out
