For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 12, 2016

As of the comic’s date, I’m 32 years and ten days of age.

Lock the door?Hey! What you doing in there?

When the old bar starts to get real thin I get a new bar and get both real soapy and press them together. When they dry it is like having one bar. I haven’t had small bits of soap in 30 years.

Wait untill he tells her he only puts the seat down to accomodate the dog, not for her…..

They need to learn from Arlo and Janis :P

If she’s gonna come in,make her take her robe off and get in the tub.Then she can REALLY complain abut something important.

Switched to liquid soap over 25 years ago. Haven’t ever regretted it. No bar soap residue (bathtub ring) to clean ever again. No marginally useful little soap slivers. No hairs on the soap. No yucky water in the soap dish. Etc.

I notice that we never take our own advice.

If women complain you donʻt put the seat down after taking a whiz, just leave it down while whizzing. Let her deal with the drips. If she canʻt LOOK and SEE that the seat is up and not put it down, whose fault is THAT? For me, its major hilarity when I hear that screech in the night!!

Yes Dear

The little hairs (that come from you know where) act like re-bar,keeping the bars of soap cemented together as you lather up each day.

I don’t know ONE man who takes a bath. Real men take showers….every day, please.

Problem solved, Elly! Buy liquid bath soap with a convenient dispenser.

I lucked out; my hubby hates bar soap. We have to buy body wash. Bad new in the way that I used to make homemade soaps but once I met hubby, they weren’t being used so I stopped making them.

Anyone else remember the soap they “sold” in Mad magazine. It was hollow in the center so “when it’s half used up it’s all used up!”

very funny strip today. It is nice to see the triviality of arguments in the light of children.

We used to have a soap cake maker. To make a new cake of soap, you saved all the useless little bits that were left after most of the bar was gone. Then when you had enough, you first had to soften them in hot water, then you pressed them into this cylinder thingie and….behold! A new bar of soap!

Not just this one, but most comics have the roles reversed. I use a bar and a washcloth. When the bar is down to the size of a new hotel bar size, it disappears and a new bar appears. On rare occasions, I will find evidence of the old bar stuck onto another old bar of my wife’s, but get to finish a bar only two or three times in 58 years of marriage..For that matter, I can remember when soap came in a bar about 1 1/4×2 1/4×4 inches, full rectangle sides, wrapped in paper. Now it is irregular and comes in a box to hide how little is there. Even the brand name is an eighth of an inch deep to shortchange the customer even that little bit more.

Why does this seem so like what I go through every day?
