For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 23, 2024

I do like that you get both sides: liz did mess up, but let’s be friends anyway, while a mature attitude , is a bit hard to ask with Candace (and ironic given the strips future) who played liz. While liz has no right to be jealous Candace still used a pretty messed up tactic to ask Anthony out when she had no reason to

Oh to be that young again…..not!

Kinda hard to do if you have the same classes, Liz.

Liz feels betrayed—a natural feeling. It’s like on THE GOLDEN GIRLS, where Dorothy was so bent-out-of-shape when her ex Stan started dating Blanche.

Elizabeth owes Anthony an apology? This is the guy who immediately agreed to go out with her former friend Candace without even questioning whether Candace was lying to him or not.

Liz is doing what most of us would do. I know I did.

Sounds good to me…

Real mature.

Liz, you didn’t talk to your mother last night. You stomped off.

Oh oh! Don’t read this if you’ve got a sensitive, upset stomach! But in panel 2, there appears to be a white grub worm trying to crawl up into Liz’s ear! Yikes, Liz. Ignoring your friends is the least of your problems today!

She still doesn’t get it…

Dawn stayed quiet the whole time

I think any guy would rather have an ex-girlfriend ignore him rather than the opposite and create a scene when the two meet by happenstance.

Ah, the wisdom of teens!

Yep, real mature reaction.

ha, good luck! :J

That’ll show them.

Yeah, that’ll work great

Farley eater,

Farley eater,

There’s a Yellow Farley Eater!

Dawn and Pawn!

Ignore Candace and Anthony? Just like Elizabeth has been ignoring math, science, English, geography. :P

Yep,Liz is going to ignore them both, And fail miserably at it,

Ignoring people who’ve hurt you when the hurt is raw has a lot to be said for it. If you remain in contact with them the temptation to lash out will eventually become irresistible, and no good can come of that. Remove the people you blame for your pain and you can process that pain and heal from it much more cleanly.

She’s showing her ignorance.

Self inflicted wounds are always more painful aren’t they ??? ;-)

Anthony deserves a sincere apology. Candace deserves a sincere telling off, with a cold-shoulder chaser.

The next move is Anthony’s, which is too bad, cuz he’s pretty clueless.

Elizabeth’s mother just wants to make sure Elizabeth marries Anthony.

Yep, something to start, since you won’t listen to your mother.

Her mom was right. If she wanted to break-up with Anthony, it was her responsibility to do it herself. She wouldn’t have liked it if Anothny had done that to her. She got what she deserved. She didn’t think Anthony was good enough for her and she wanted to play the field becayse of all the good looking high school guys, so now is her chance….Enjoy!
