For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 18, 2014

I don’t like the fact she’s using her pregnancies as a clutch…I don’t like women who does that

Elly DOES have a point, doesn’t she? ;-D

Well, we know this isn’t her way of introducing her pregnancy with April. Lizzy has to be about nine or so before that happens.

Oh, Elly. Let the man have his gripe time, hold his hand, pat his head, say, “poor dear, poor dear”. Then let him take you out for a nice romantic dinner to celebrate.

Pregnant? No Thank You. I’m glad there are so many other women who want to “inflict this on themselves”. First you get morning sickness, then stretch marks, then all kinds of physical discomfort and medical problems (temporary). Then the big day arrives!! Labor Pains. I mean if you got shot they’d take a one inch bullet out of a one inch hole, with a baby … well, you see where I’m going. And then you’re stuck with the kid for at least 18 years. No thanks!!

Pregnancy is certainly no trump in this matter. I have a loved one who has had chronic back pain for almost 20 years (his entire adult life) and recently underwent a second very painful procedure to have nerves cauterized. He would gladly trade 9 months of pregnancy.

They only play the pregnancy card because they know that is something we can never feel. So they make it sound as if it’s a huge discomfort, if it’s so bad how come so many women have more than 1 child? Get over it, women have been doing it since the beginning of time.

John is such an all out idiot, proved time and time again. that Elly would stay with or marry such an idiot…. well. loldreams are seldom close to reality, anyway

the ignorance of men continues to show with these comments. explains why the pro lifers are so clueless

Oh when will I learn not to read the comments!

@Elaine 1975: Good for you that we got kids who can take of you when you get old?

Oop’s she got him !!!!!! 8^)

Haha looks like his put his newly cast-less foot straight into his mouth.

Gweedo, I think in that situation, the love comes first, and then the labor.

He’s using the crutch on the wrong side. It goes on the side opposite the bad foot.

what makes you think women don’t get abscessed teeth?

My boo boo is bigger than your boo boo! Nyah, nyah, nyah!!!

Well, if you asked John if he’d rather have a broken foot or a pregnancy, I’m sure he’d rather choose the broken foot — as would most men. I hope I don’t need to explain why.

My mother-in-law used to say she felt better pregnant with two sons 14-years-age difference. Not sure of nausea, I think both dry birth.For me I had trouble with nausea and I did not fell better pregnant we have two, sometimes I wished we had another one, been too long. First one I almost drowned then learned not to repeat on drinking water with 2nd one. After birth of first one I went into shock and day later fainted in shower. 2nd one not so bad giving birth.

serenasakitty: Exaggerations abound! People live longer than one generation, otherwise neonates would not survive. Extinction occurs when the last individual dies.

-My sister threw up every day for 9 months. She would have been thrilled to have an abscessed tooth.

I’m sure John’s experienced discomfort for years, being married to Elly.

Now where did you get “centerfold” out of Hawgzilla’s comment? And how does his comment make his a ‘hater’? That term is so over-used, and along with “racist” is being used to attack people with a difference view than your own.

To all the people yesterday who thought that I didn’t realize that this is a comic or that I don’t know what a freezer is…:-P get over yourselves! Stop being so sensitive! I was actually responding to a fellow poster who didn’t seem to get it, so you totally misread my response. I know you won’t apologize but I needed to get it off my chest. I love this comic and wish it had continued.

Oh boy! We’re in “Baby Blues” territory again!

I spent eleven months in a cast…five on crutches and six in a walking cast. I’ve had two children. I’ll take the cast

The last six weeks is AT LEAST as uncomfortable as being in a cast.

Two questions: 1. Why do women talk non stop; 2. Why do people argue about laws of nature; 3. Why is it better to say “Cum Sole” or “Contra Solem” rather than High and Low; What is meant by “post hoc ergo propter hoc”?

Right back at you

Wow! The Elly-haters are out in full force! Can’t give her an even break, even when John’s being a jerk. I guess I’ll just shake my head and stop reading the comments.
