For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 29, 2019

Somebody is in big trouble (no pun intended).

the baby’s older siblings are going to be quite the characters with whom to grow up

You gotta admit Ellie, it’s funny.

Somebody made a huge mistake.

Not funny McGee.

Oh these kids would be grounded for a good long time in my house and got a good “whooping” too!

That is far too hilarious to stay mad at!

Such disrespect for one’s parents and disregard for someone else’s clothes. Sad that this seems to be considered okay today.

That was just mean

I had a sister with 3 closets. One was pre-pregnancy clothes, one was pregnancy, one was post-pregnancy. I only understood it when I got pregnant. If you were even smarter you would plan to be pregnant during the winter months when you could live in jumpers and overalls with loose sweaters underneath.

Can’t believe they took her babushka too.

SOMEONE is going to DIE… and quickly !!!! lol

once it a while I wish Ellie would laugh and join in on the joke instead of being hurt about it.

Real “maternity clothes” are pretty much a thing of the past. There used to be whole areas in clothing stores for just the thing to hide that “embarrassing” belly. I made most of my maternity clothes in the early 70’s. Maternity clothes were passed around a lot to share when friends turns came up. I did stretch out one of my favorite winter coats on my first time around. It zipped up, and always had a permanent bump in the front after that one winter. I wore it anyways, but was forever smoothing down that front!

This is what happens when you raise children without teaching them respect for their parents.

Okay, credit where credit is due, the kids did a double funny. The snowman is imaginative and adorable and Mom gets a ribbing.

When in the US Air Force I was stationed at Keesler AFB, Biloxi Mississippi at the base hospital. It snowed several inches. Being a boy from deep south Texas I had never seen it before so some of my northern buddies showed me how to build a snowman. After a while and a few beers we decided it needed clothes. We raided the hospital laundry and procured a nurse’s uniform and dressed it up. We did return it after the thaw somewhat worse for wear.

I made a snowman once and put one of my wife’s bra on it – she got really mad – no sense of humour

Guess who’ll be in charge of the dirty diaper detail.

I guess howtheduck is the For Better or Worse chief critic?

Nice detail on that brown coat in 3rd panel, Mrs Johnston!
