For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 16, 2014

Elizabeth, you shouldn’t believe everything Your Grandpa Jim tells you! I think Michael is right…that suitcase is probably full of presents! ;)

That’s why they call these the “Golden Years”; every time you stand up, you feel like you’ve gotta pee.

Ashes to ashes,Dust to dust.Before he dies,He’ll probably rust.

Better to wear out than rust.

Grandpa Jim became such a wonderful addition to the strip in later years. As carrman510 said, it’s nice to see him here in his slightly younger years.

Grandpa’s comment and Michael’s (probably correct interpretation) is funny in itself. In last panel, is Lizzie trying to feel his underwear? That’s the only thing that would make this addition funny. And Grandma is hiding a laugh behind her hands.

My grandparents were probably in that same age range and I don’t remember any such thing…

My Grandfather use to tell me tall tales about Indians attacking us. We lived in the South Bronx and I watched a few cowboy movies so I believed him. All in good fun.

Seeing Granpa “alive” again is kinda like looking at old home movies…

Michael is right — the bag is full of presents. But those presents are iron (Superman) underwear for Mike and wood (Hello Kitty) socks for Lizzie.

Good one Lizzie!

No, but I do have an iron butt
