For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 09, 2023

Aypo knows about Superman?

I’d never heard of the easter bunny until i was well into my thirties

That has to be one of the sweetest strips Lyn has ever written!

Oh you know you all are gonna read this out loud! In a 3 year old voice! ….I did.

John seems to enjoy teasing his daughter.

That’s cute father and daughter conversation there.

Looks like it’s time for another viewing of “Easter Fever (1979)”. It was a Canadian cartoon in the style of a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. It featured many voices from Second City comedy troupe: Catherine O’Hara, Robin Duke, Eugene Levy, Maurice LaMarche (better known now for his character Brain in Pinky and The Brain) and Garret Morris as the Easter Bunny.

she sure has grown up fast! cant believe it. how long has it been since she was born??

Great one Lynn. I envy your imagination. And BTW, Happy Easter to you.

John is doing an excellent job of teaching April how to think for herself.

To me Easter has always reminded me of the bittersweet road that precedes death; we all know it is coming, and as Jesus pointed out no matter how pure our life has been Gods test at the end will gage our new beginning in the afterlife.

Great Stuff Here.

but it’s fun. :D

Reminds me of “The Elephant Song” by Eric Herman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yihq8BIhL9c

Well done John. Happy Easter!

April has beautiful imagination! I hope she keeps it as long as she is a child (in this cartoon, anyway).

April in10 years ..go to mom for the facts of life

I played Easter Bunny for kids at a party yesterday. The kids were great and great fun. The “head” was difficult to work with and I couldn’t do a really good Easter Bunny.

April has all of her ‘imaginary’ characters straight.

There is no answer to that.

okay, folks. why has no one picked up on the fact that April only lisps SOME of the time? If you read through all of her side of the conversation, she is able to pronounce plenty of “s’s”. should be THuperman and later on got-th a jacket and got-th fur on and lot-th of choc’lit cauth he liketh it- an he hopth like DITH!!! well, you get the idea… I don’t know of any child who can only lisp SOME of the time!! Come on Lynn!!! Get it right!

Even as a small child, I could deal with Santa Clause since he was everywhere at Christmas season; in the downtown department store, on TV, on billboards. The Easter Bunny, however, was a problem. I just could not wrap my mind around a big rabbit hopping into our dining room and leaving an Easter basket.

I still can’t figure out how he has the time to go to shopping malls and pose for pictures with the kids, who are afraid of him

Dad is sure having fun with April… And she is getting pretty smart, too.

He’s a good dad.

The real meaning of Easter has nothing to do with rabbits or eggs.

Happy Easter from For Better or Worse – April 24, 2011

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Cute!

I tried to get my son to pose with the Easter Bunny at the Maine Mall on Saturday. He wouldn’t do it, even though I wheedled. Could have something to do with the fact that he’s 45….

My wife read this one before I did. And neither of us has much tolerance for Apwil’s forced babytalk. So when I picked up the comics page I saw my wife had scrawled the words [VOMIT EMOJI] across the top, which gave me a huge chuckle and, to quote The Band, “gave my heart a throb to the bottom of my feet.”

Oh, memories! My dad was an inveterate leg puller and so would have done something like this. Had me going in circles one time with insisting the name of the “king of the jungle” was Raznat. Got me so mixed up I was convinced it was Tazran. Both he and my older brother were rolling on the floor, of course.
