For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 31, 2023

His wife won’t like that

At least Anthony doesn’t wear his hair like that dork in the shadow!!

Oh No, they “Change” is coming

I’m sure I mentioned, at some time on this website, that I knew a man who didn’t hire an applicant for a job that involved talking people into donating money because the guy crumbled crackers into his soup during an interview/lunch.

Run, Liz, while you still can…

Everyone looks funny when they eat.

Novelty has worn off…she starts noticing things now that she is less lovestruck.

He is kinda gross.

Potential deal-breaker…

First panel is weird. Looks like he is 7 feet tall and she is about 2 1/2 feet.

Uh-oh. Could the bloom be off the rose of first love?

Wait a minute. Liz is thinking like Anthony is there with her. But I only see her and her Father. Why is John having lunch with Liz at school? Maybe it’s Career Day?

A teenage boy eating, is a cross between a wolf and a hippo.

Slurp, chomp, drool, munch, crunch and down she goes.

Repeat as needed, until comestibles are exhausted.

Yep, the initial crush phase is starting to wear off.

At least his hair doesn’t look like beatlejuice as the person in the background does.

Eats funny? How the heck does one “eat funny”?

I guess today’s moral lesson confirms what my grandmother always said, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”

Anthony seems to be drawn differently from the way he has been. Doesn’t look as nerdish. I think Lynn was getting serious about him for Elizabeth here.

The honeymoon is over.

Well the shine is off the apple, time for the worm to poke its ugly head out.

At first glance I though it was Elizabeth’s father!

Wow… Liz is finally ‘getting’ it… Anthony is not her entire world, and yes, he has his faults. Umm… as do you.

It’s the little annoyances that break up a relationship.

And the way Anthony breaths? ALL WRONG!

If that’s his only fault, count yourself blessed.

Uh, Oh. Anthony’s history.

Anthony is not allowed to have faults. He is Canadian.

I dated one of the best looking girls in high school but she ate like a slob, chewed with he mouth open, talked with her mouth full of food. Well I should have said I dated her one time. And before I get trolled, I know I have bad habits, but I tried to hide them until I knew someone better.

Cafeteria food—-the great leveler

As if you don’t have flaws or quirks of your own, Liz….

Better to cut your losses now, Elizabeth. You don’t want to end up like the Pickles.

grandson ate like a pig, his daughter spent the weekend—he now chews with his mouth closed, bless her beautiful heart.

Sometimes that’s all it takes.

The beginning of the end?

May be he thinks you do too.
