For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 13, 2015

But, Elly, big brother Michael told Elizabeth to take off her dirty clothes! It’s not his fault!

My hope is that a totally different arc starts tomorrow. But I’m always disappointed…

Actually, Micheal was just reminding his younger sister of the repercussions of getting her good clothes dirty.

Now would be good time for the preacher to visit?

Sadly, this tactic doesn’t work so well after they grow up.

Sometimes the simplest answers aren’t always acceptable to many people!

I hope I don’t seem rude but……what the heck are you talking about? ….And why

It does answers my question…thanks.

Carry on!

WHAT KIND OF A COMIC IS THIS,LYNN???

Why do some people here comment by explaining what the comic is trying to say? I can read it and infer what the message/punch line is for myself. I’m sure others here can do likewise and don’t need the redundant useless commentary.

A born literalist.

This reminds me of something that happened with my niece when she was 4. She didn’t want her new dress to get dirty but had to try out the new sandbox in the church playground.

@ ComicssfanIf others reading this comic think Elly is rude or even if they think something is charming it’s what they got from the strip and they don’t need someone else to help them with the take home message. You clearly have your own issues that color what you take away from the strip, but your explanations from your point of view in no way influences my point of view on the strip.

It is doubtful the joke would work if Elizabeth did that gag when she was 13.

Why is Elly shouting at Michael for being shirtless while thinking it is a funny to see April running around with no clothes on?

ROFLMAO!!!

AGAIN….ROFLMAO!;-)You are often a chuckle for the day. Yay!(Even if I AM a day late)

THANK YOU! How on earth long does it the you to find and retrieve all of these, though? You must have one HECK of a memory.:-o

Logic.
