For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 19, 2020

hang in there, El

I thought the whole point this week of getting Elly to agree to let Annie take care of April during the day was so that Elly could go to work.

I like the look of shock on baby’s face as she realises mummy’s buggering off without her. She’s a very cute baby.

That kind of freedom tends to be taken for granted until you suddenly don’t have it anymore.

That’s going to be the best sleep she’s had in weeks!

A good nights sleep for Mom helps keep the children healthy. Also, alive.

Lynn’s Comments:

I couldn’t have drawn panel 2 if I hadn’t felt the pain. Drawing images like this was (and is) an effective form of psychotherapy for me.

A good start to a long week, getting some sleep. :D

It was cute that she didn’t even get dressed before dropping off the baby. Same clothes in panels 2 and 3

Well Yeah, but speaking from experience, SLEEP is a Godsend!

How I remember those days with my first, I use teeth rings when my first loved, thought took a while for first to use night as bed time, my second one yes with a teething ring, yet let me know when time came for nap.

Annie is so happy to take over the care of the baby. I hope Elly warned her about the teething. Bless you, Annie!

Why is Annie saying thanks when she’s the one doing the favor?

Good job on that look of horrified surprise on April’s face!

GOD! I remember this!!! :D

Why is Annie thanking El? She is the one doing the favor for Elly.

teething is the pits
