For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 30, 2022

far out

Rhetta has got you. You don’t know it yet.

This strip must be one of those Lynn updated to match today’s technology. I doubt there was VR back in the late 1980s….unless I was one of those who was behind on the video games. At that time, I was in college and the guys were not playing VR games so….

It’s nice to see that Gordon is not so hooked into Tracey that he would spend time shopping for school supplies with Michael. Gordon is probably thinking, “I remember when I felt that way about Tracey.”

As a guy I would rarely say my brain has taken over when I fall head over heels for some knock-out beauty. I would say instead that I’m turned on by some lower libido parts. My brain is taken over more likely by watching a TV documentary by David Attenborough.

Nice to see Mike using his earnings to buy school supplies instead of wasting it on junk like those two doofuses (or is it doofi??).

…and I thought my View Master was cool.

Panel 4: Is that “Blitz” or “Butz”??

Lynn’s Comments:

On one hand, the strip is retro…but sometimes, it shows life just as it is today. I guess things haven’t changed that much!

Oh, Oh, be careful Mike. Slow down.

Ah yes, when true love turns a guys brain to mush.

Butz me out!

I’ve always thought it was more likely there’s not enough blood in the male body to operate two organs at the same time.

Love & Hate are the strongest emotions in my opinion.

I miss those feelings and those days, but I wouldn’t go back for love ner money.

The reason virtual reality is so popular is because the real thing is so terrifying.

Let us see, Michael was leaping immediately afterwards he kissed Rhetta. Could it be possible that if a fly is buzzing around that Michael will stick out his tongue and eat it? Did kissing Rhetta do something to him?

Yo dude like blitz me out…LOL

If you don’t walk into door frames,you’re not in love

Buying school supplies? Surprised that Brian Enjo is not with them. School is Brian’s cocaine.

I know this takes place 30 years ago, but has anybody, in the history of ever, seriously used the phrase “blitz ( butz) me out”?
