For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 27, 2021

Tony Manero, the early years.

“….stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive….!”

I like the composition of the first two panels!

Mike doesn’t play that game where he lets guys tousle his hair. Hand slaps only are the Michael Patterson style of social distancing back in 1992.

Mike, must you ALWAYS be conscious of how your hair looks? Is it really that big of a deal? :/

How much did they have down on bets??

Gotta be careful of the hair. A guy doesn’t know how long he will have a head of hair. My little brother started going bald in his twenty’s. I, myself still have most of my hair, and I’m in my 60s.

Okaaaaayyy….. I guess I missed the (supposed) joke there.

One of my favorite lines from “Saturday Night Fever”: “He hit my hair!”

A Gary Shandling classic.

What’s up with the hair?

Being happy about winning only goes so far.

Ever notice how the fans say “WE won”? I didn’t see any of them on the floor playing. I’ll never understand sports fans who think they made the teams win.

He’s British when he wins and Scottish when he loses

Panel 2: Canadian fans have the strangest chants.

He sounds like Uncle Jesse on Full House.

Man do I remember those days, the hair had to be perfect. Now my wife buzzes it, and the shorter the better!

I love how sports fans are so happy at the end, like they won the game themselves.

Tousled hair is a better look than Gordon’s ugly hat!

I think the point is that when adolescent boys start being interested in girls they are more likely to be concerned about keeping their hair looking nice.

Reminds me of Jesse in Full House.

Oh dear, You might have to comb it.

I never knew Mike PLAYED basketball! Far less drunk one!
