For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 01, 2011

Mind, that man is a dentist! Does he not know what Milk Duds do to dental work?

Yeh, I used to grab all my kids’ shelled peanuts…

And he calls himself a dentist?

well, more work for him! I don’t mind that aspect, even dentist’s kids can sometimes enjoy sweets, if they take care to brush afterwards.

Calling the kid a fool (even in his thoughts) instead of thanking him for his generosity, though…

Milk Duds…not one of my favorites.

John, the correst usage is MAY I, not can I. Just your nit-picking English lesson for today. LOL

I like Reese’s peanut butter cups a lot better!

My kids made out like bandits also, over 150 pieces each (they had to count them last night :-)). We stayed out later than usual, but they’re only young once, right? I totally remember staying out late running around getting those last pieces of candy. Good times…

IT’S A QUOTE!

i had milk duds this week for the first time in a long time. gracious, they’re good! and terrific with coffee!

Lynn’s husband had the sweetest tooth in the family … which is probably why he became a dentist – free dentures for life!.Morning Neighbours!

There are doctors who smoke cigarettes and dentists who eat Milk Duds. To quote Rich Mullins song Brother’s Keeper, ‘My friends ain’t the way I wish they were; they are just the way they are.’

I tried multiple times to change my avatar today to reflect that Halloween is now over and Thanksgiving will soon be upon us but no matter how hard I tried, every image I selected gave me an “error failure” message (and yes, I made sure every single image was under 2 mb as the site instructed). Anyone else having this problem today or is it just me and my computer stupidness is acting up again? Thanks!

I hate Milk Duds. Give me Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&M’s any day of the week and I’m in absolute heaven!

;-)

The last time I ate Milk Duds, they nearly pulled out my fillings from my teeth! Doesn’t John know that as a dentist? I remember giving my dad all my Clark bars out of my sack. That was his favorite candy bar since it was made in Pittsburgh.

Rasczak said, about 4 hours ago“Far out”..?? What is this, a 1960’s hippie drum circle? =======LOL!! :-) FAAAAR OUT!

@dsom8Agreed, some folks take things too literally.

This is the first indication I’ve seen of Michael’s generosity, something that figures prominently in later strips.

As an aside, when in junior high school, a friend gave me some kind of green apple-flavored candy, during a class, which I thought was not only going to yank a filling, but possibly the entire tooth. Never had that again.

yep my fav milk ball. m and m. lolly pop and gummie.. i was young… ever sick… bad for Diabetics……….
