For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 07, 2022

don’t you just loathe the fashion police… specially when it’s your own child(ren)?

Wait a minute! Michael comes home late wet and after having destroyed John’s car, so he doesn’t have to get dressed up and go out with the family on Sunday. Is that his punishment? I am not sure Michael would consider that to be a punishment.

As a guy I’m not that swift with fashion etiquette either, but something nags me, would a polka dot hair band (or whatever that’s called) really go with a striped blouse? I can remember my men’s tailor saying not to wear a polka dot tie with a striped shirt.

Where is Michael??

This would be a great time to introduce Rhetta to his family.

On second thought—would it??

She looked great to start with! People should not be told what to wear unless they are senile. Or have very bad judgement and it must be done in a gentle and helpful way.

Annnnnnd, they ran out of gas. After buying gas, they had no money for dinner. They went home.

Guess Michael was not invited, beause he over washed the car….

Elly is frumpy. She could use a hair, wardrobe and make up update.

I have never been in style, and I never will be. Not sorry.

I’m 72 and my son has invited me to a heavy metal concert and I really don’t know what to wear. He says don’t worry.

We have 2 baths, I guess I get to use at least 1/2 of one (including the shower). The walk-in closet – more than 1/2 hers, too. AND it takes at LEAST an hour to get ready to go anywhere.

All that for McDonald’s?

Oh good, they’ve killed off Michael.

Way to go Elizabeth!

Turn about is fair play.

Love the look on mom’s face!

I was always on time. Early, in fact. Then I had children.

Dress the way that makes you feel good but; I have seen some women looking so ridiculous that I wonder if they even look in the mirror at all.

Clothes are just something I wear to keep from being cold or being arrested.

1) Liz ought to know if her mom has sandals, she’s always borrowing her clothes. 2) The one thing that really had to go, she never noticed – that ridiculous hairbow!

They have cute legs.

Elizabeth shouldn’t be telling her mother anything about how she’s dressed. (But it is a comic, and that’s what makes it interesting – doesn’t have to match my opinion LOL). But Liz is wearing what appear to be flip-flops with a dress, which would be considered weird, at least to me and to my family and friends.

Wait a minute. That material on Elly’s blouse is just like the material on her couch!! Is Elly recycling the couch for her clothing?

Let her have it.
