For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 31, 2022

Football? What kind of Canadian boy says “football”? That’s just wrong.

no, Michael, not like that (face palm indeed, Lawrence)

Talk about stereotyping. Hey Mike, I know women who hate shopping and love football and other sports. I don’t care for football but I like baseball and sometimes basketball. But if it’s any consolation I love shopping!

Not THAT extreme, Michael!!

Yeah Mike, like that…good grief. At least he’s asking questions. That’s a good thing.

No Michael…just no

Well, to be fair football is homoerotic.

Mike’s got a long way to go

April tuned 31, today.

Like Shakespeare, here’s a bit of humor after a dramatic scene. Watching Mike try to understand does relieve the tension temporarily. It’s a gradual acceptance, and bringing up other cultures which didn’t have a problem with it helps.

Yeah, Mikey, that’s it (asshat!) ***eyeroll***

I’m with you, Lawrence. Mike is just a dumb guy. :D

Baby steps Laurence.

I guess I’m just too old. I thought Mike’s line was funny.

Mike tries to understand. Credit where it is due.

I suppose it’s funny that I’m confused about how to feel about someone else who’s confused about something that I think is obvious.

Canadian boys have always played and watched football. The CFL is over 100 years old. If you are thinking about “soccer”, that is called football in every country except Canada and the USA. Australia has “football” but they call it “footie” and it is played differently.

Wow, so many comments for a 15+ year old rerun.

oh, poor Mike lol! He’ll get it, eventually…

I favor the consciousness of the spirit over the unconsciousness of spirits

This strip used to be funny, I now find it breaking you own rules. (sexual in nature, indecent, obscene). Good bye

Everybody else just call them faggots.

Ah well, not exactly Mike.

Judging from Lawrence’s expression, Mike got it dead wrong. I do have a trans brother-in-law who always gets my sister just the right present.

Of course the gay kid has to comfort the straight boy who can’t deal. No support for what he’s going through.

Maybe Milton Berle reruns would help.

Mike is trying the best he can to process what Lawrence has told him. i guess thinking the female spirit wants to shop and the male spirit wants to watch football is a start for him. I am a straight female and I love watching tennis, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc and was never into dolls.

Mike is absolutely clueless!

Well, at least he’s trying…

You nailed it Michael
