For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 22, 2010

So do I.

Oh, don’t we just all sometimes! :o)

Michael looks very pensive in panel 3, wonder what that’s about… hope it has nothing to do with the way Lawrence is smiling in the background, xD

I don’t think there’s any harm in saying something like that once in a while, and it’s only to John. She has been a good friend anyway.

Paul Jones:

There is no reason to “slam” anyone for making a light-hearted, humorous aside like that. It doesn’t mean she is somehow in love with herself. There is also nothing wrong with wishing she had a relief pitcher.

STOP IT Openwings! LMBO!!!

Is there a method that I can use to delete for Better or worse from my daily e-mail?

I would like to see Andy Capp and Shoe daily.

Thank You

Ralph

There’s nothing wrong with being aware you’re a good friend. It can help it set in your mind that that’s the sort of person you want to be, so you focus on doing even better. And, as we know, Elly continues to be a good friend to her friends, husband and finally kids, for another 20+ years… but she doesn’t take a lot of wild trips while her friends watch her kids! (which BTW, much as I love my kids, a weekend of fun sounds Wonderful right now!)

I totally understand. My friends take advantage of me too and never are there to return the hundreds of favors I do for them often leaving me in a lurch (I won’t even get into all I do because it’s depressing).

Even though my hubby is my best friend it’s still not the same as having a female best buddy.

Maybe mcveinot you have to stop the favors or ask for help. One of my friends does everything for everyone. She never asks for help. You have to speak up.

wish my hubby would take your advice. he can’t say no to anyone who asks for (or expects) him to help. altho an admirable trait, he’s not a spring chicken anymore and has a bad back

sigh

Connie is always making her doubt her life. She’s been no friend to Elly.

This page keeps redirecting me to some dating site. I’ve had it with go comics’s lack of security this week!

maybe you could have john help you , have him take the kids to the park for a few hours and you go take a nice long soak in the tub

calgon take me away

wonderful, bald 716 - have not thought of that in ages…. perfect.

I wonder what Connie is up to now? Still bed with Phil. (Scoffs!) Elly, don’t feel hard on yourself, just be happy, tho’.

Ann Landers used to say that no one can take advantage of you unless you allow it.

I know exactly how you feel…

Finding a good friend isn’t always easy, especially once you’ve got a husband & kids who also require your time & attention. A woman needs a close female friend, but it isn’t something you can run an ad to get.

We all do.

Open, its probably just the drawing style.

Boy, ‘young’ pre-potato-nose, pre-bun Elly sure looks a lot cuter. Just compare the panels in this strip with the mug shot in the pick list at the top of the page, if you have a page built.

As a psycho-therapist, I fail to see why we have to “slam” anyone. Elly makes mistakes as we all do, so does Connie. Do we have to demonize them for the silly things Lynn has them doing to make a comic funny?

Is that baby Farley? Squeeee!
