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

How big of a boat, John: Titanic?

Yes! Truth be told! ;)

…and spelling! Everyone knows it’s ‘! before * except after #’.

I wish Elly would stop being such a pushover and just say, “NO!”

8^( ?

And Baby Richard is still screaming…Maybe John should go with the cops just to get away from that *!@+ kid!

Actually, John retrieved the pot last Thursday right before the cops showed up. Unknown if it was in time to be put to it’s proper use.

Boatload, or buttload?

Don’t punish the child, it’s the parent’s fault for allowing the behavior – slap them around. Children should be encouraged and indulged, but the adults should set rules and boundaries, and when the child fails then there should be consequences. Dennis the Menace still sits in a corner.

I still don’t see Annie apologizing for putting them in this situation in the first place.

(Panel 3) Just look down, Officer… That’s all the proof you need.

RedBaron38: Sensory deprivation is so good for the growing mind.

This really made me laugh. That is about what I would say if I were in the same situation.

John says it perfectly

Annie should be apologizing profusely to John and Elly for all the trouble she caused them.

Richard is very spoiled

I love to see the next panel when Ann turns around and screams at John for cursing her kid.

BINGO John. And hopefully Lynn has learned a lesson about her “friend” Annie, since the so-called-friend didn’t leave the potty chair with Lynn in the first place.
