For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 17, 2021

Of all the drive-thrus of all the burger joints in all the world… .

This is the last time we’ll see Martha. Day your goodbyes ladies and gents.

who else?

OK, time they get back together…the fate of 2 little kids depends on it.

Why should she steal for you

Why don’t you ask Martha if they’re hiring?

Yes, Michael. Martha has a job… Not just laying around at home like a lazy slob mooching like you do..

This is going to be a very awkward teen-moment. Mike meeting Martha. And Mike’s friends behind Mike. All this spells Awkward.

It’s not Whack Donald’s for a Big Whack? (credit Mad Magazine)

Wait! Isn’t Martha in school? And she’s working 8 to midnight?

It is a really is a tiny bit of hell ordering a burger and fries from someone you no longer play tongue hockey with.

Lynn’s Comments:

Around this time, I began to work with another graphic artist. Laura could easily duplicate my style, so with more time to do background details, the art soon became much more complicated. I would draw the strip in pencil, ink the characters, and give her the rest to do. Up until I retired from the strip, Laura became another right hand!

Martha…Martha….!

So, how many babes can you get for $11 Canadian?

Hmmmmm! Very interestink! ;o}

He’s still got it for her. Awww!

It’s Martha Washingtable

Give thanks to Elly. By confronting her son on a owning a dirty magazine, she stopped filthy ideas right then and there. Had she not done so, Michael would have grown up to become the Ted Bundy of Canada.

Martha my dear

I have always like the Martha arc.
