For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 08, 2009

would you jump off a bridge if Lawrence told you to.

We have sensitive uvula in our mouths!

Kids! How do they come up with this stuff?

Remember, uvula spelled backwards is a luv u! (I love you)

Makes sense to me……..

In the last panel, it looks like Lawrence pulled his a little too hard. Leave ‘em alone, boys; they’ll grow by themselves.

Quoting Henry Mitchell (for Elly) “boys will be boys”.

(in the particular one-paneler, Henry was trying to satisfactorily explain to a cop why Dennis had lassoed him).

Hey Michael, next time tell Lawrence you’ll do it after he does it. End of challenge.

i double dog dare ya to pull that hangey down thing

What to do on a slow day of summer vacation?

It’s always Lawrence daring Michael. These two were really close back then.

I’m surprised he didn’t puke all over the place. Isn’t that what usually happens?

Yes, where did Lawrence end up ..Paris?

I’ve seen this and recently.

Is it an unenhanced repeat from

one of her compilations [suddenly silver]?

If this was set in current times and the boys were a little older, they’d be trying to pierce their uvulas, not pull on them. http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Uvula_Piercing

That was a good gag.

Perhaps he was “on empty” carmy–in which case there’s nothing to bring-up.

I probably would have made the same sound as Michael if I tried that.

Tigger, I suspect you mean your tonsils.

@chromosome: Excellent groaner!
