For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 26, 2009

Don’t be a meaner, Michael!

Carmy, he’s a big brother. It’s his job.

Well, at least he’s happy about his school stuff!

I see a collage coming a la Lizzie with all of Michael’s school stuff.

Now he needs about 5 Ds for his AN’s.

Well, actually Lizzie IS about to get something. She gets the house and its toys all to herself while Michael is in school!

Good job BuzzDog! Plus, she gets Ellie all to herself…hhmmm…maybe not a good trade.

I was thinking close to the same thing…wait ‘till Mike comes home with too much homework!!

Or worse yet, when his friends “like” her!!

Lizzie will get hers in the end!

That’s right. Soon he’ll find out he doesn’t want to get up in the morning and school is work.

I remember the week BEFORE school was “all that!” I got new clothes, new shoes, new supplies. Then I had to go to school :(

hildigunnur - I replied on yesterday’s.

My older brother was like that, too, when we were little. MUST be a big brother thing. Are they born that way, or does somebody come along and teach them to be buttholes?

Speaking as the oldest sibling in my family, algurka, I can attest that gloating is a privilege that belongs to older siblings only, and that it helps us get even for the fact that you younger siblings always get away with stuff that would have gotten us the death penalty! :P

I had the best (worst) of both. I had an older brother who treated me like that and a younger brother who was sooo easy to bait.

I totally agree. I’m the oldest of 10 and all my younger siblings got away with everything. The only problem was when I got to high school, I didn’t get new school clothes anymore. Had to get a job, but it matures you!

i mighthave been the littlest ,youngest sibling, but i had the best time learning form the older kids mistakes

Hey! Watch your mouth, Michael!

Awww, check out her face in the last panel! Poor Lizzie! Baby girl, you should just grab onto that cheeky tongue of Michael’s and teach him a lesson. He’ll start blubbering “I’m thorry Lithie! I’m THORRY” in no time! xD
