For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 16, 2024

Get ready to meet Mrs. Dingle.

The Canadian Andy Capp!

Considering what those immature jerks have done to the dormitory, IMO, Michael deserves a full refund of his residence payment!

Mike is playing his, “I can spend daddy’s money anyway I want” card with this one. The ability to just decide and move on a whim is not something everyone can afford to do.

Remember, this strip is about 30 years old taking place in Canada. If it was today and given his name, maybe Mike’s friend would’ve asked if that other type of business is nearby (it’s legal here)!

His nickname is “Weed”, and he wants to live near a bar? Beware, Michael. People tend to assume that those who hang around together have the same habits and likes.

I doubt it

Do you even have the money for it?

Walking distance from college? What happened ? According to the official web page, Michael went to Western University to study journalism last year.

Now as a sophomore his Uni seems to be switched to a cheaper college?

Think about this, Mike, your roommate is important!

Holy Smokes! Weed’s got eyes!

Important things first. I went to college in a state where the drinking age was 21. So we had a designated buyer over that age to buy our stuff.

PRIORITIES, Mike!

And the priorities pop up!

Getting your own apartment is the only way to go

Priorities!

Hmm. An apartment opens up mid semester. Should they be wondering why that is? Could be it has some problems.

Yeah ! One of those old college town ‘Neighborhood Bars’ that also serves food. Sounds good to me…

Probably.

Weed huh, pun intended ??? ;-)

Priorities

Weed?

Near a bar? Sounds like peace and quiet to me.

NO
