For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 17, 2024

Make up your mind Elizabeth!

Anthony does not know that when they broke up last year, Elizabeth wanted to break up with him too but procrastinated so long that he beat her to it. I guess he never found out.

And what’s more—HE has his arm around HER!! Whaddya think of that, Liz?

Wait, what?

Candace is devious. She pushed Liz to tell Anthony she wanted to break up so she could have him as boyfriend and when Liz proscinated, she figured she’d go the other way and do it herself.

Anthony’s a pushover for a tummy rub.

Typical human. Emotion in, reason out.

Hey, great black top Liz

Elizaloser

I knew that was going to happen.

Why is Candace hugging Connie?

Can we please move on?! Either you break up with him or you you’re dating, I’m done!!

I remember when I was 13 I met a boy at a friend’s party & we started dating. He took things really fast & scared me, so I asked that friend to break up with him for me. It actually worked out well. We saw each other years later (we were both chaperoning a teen dance) & it was all good.

Hey! You were gonna dump him for being too boring and predictable!

Saw this coming on monday

No surprise here!

He’s not your boyfriend now, Liz. And he has HIS arm around Candace.

Elizabeth is a mugwump. She has her “mug” on one side of the fence and her “wump” on the other! :P

It is a woman’s prerogative to change her mind .. every three seconds.

Well played, Candace. But you may have just traded a girl friend for a boyfriend.

Candace is a snake. And Elizabeth should have told Anthony herself.

You shouldn’t have trusted her, Elizabeth!

Ahhh, the penny drops as she realizes the ulterior motive.

I see Liz breaking up, not with Anthiony but with Candace.

The worm has officially turned!

LOL… Liz is going to have a REAL hard time when Anthony and Candace get together. Too funny…

It always takes something like this to realize what you have… you don’t fully appreciate it until it’s gone! Also, Elizabeth looks pretty cute in the last panel! :D

Archie,Betty and Veronica will guest star tomorrow

The price of cowardice!

You Contracted YOUR work out – what did you expect – she got him on the cheap!!!

Yep, you never want something or somebody more than after you have tossed them away.

One of life’s lessons I’m sure Liz will not forget

Not yours anymore, again, welcome to the big leagues kid ! ;-)

Emotional culture shock. And one reason why it’s called ‘growing pains’.

Lovin’ Spoonful Song comes to mind.

What did she expect?

She was never really sold on the breakup idea anyway…Candace talked her into it. Now we see why.

Ah, the teen years. The sting and embarrassment of teen love.

reminds me of my teenage years, had my “best friend” break up with my boyfriend behind my back then she told me that he wanted to break up with me, being dumb kids we both trusted her and didn’t contact each other to verify. She just wanted him for herself. Long before cell phones LOL

Just a kind of poll here: was teen angst like this part of your life? I can’t even imagine it. I understand that it is common to date before finding The One but this seems weird.

Hey, young ladies be crazy … And grown up ones, too … ;)
