For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 06, 2017

I hate to ask, but did Michael ever tease Elizabeth in the future when SHE got into puberty? (As in her assets growing?)

With any luck we will see parental intervention before Michael hurts Elizabeth, although typically Lynn Johnston leaves the violence to our imagination. This strip is funnier if you don’t imagine what happens to Elizabeth when he finally catches her. There have been a few notable exceptions to this over the years, and while they may be realistic representations of kids fighting, they didn’t exactly tickle my funny bone.

Revenge of the younger sibling!

When does Michael start calling Elizabeth ‘Lizard Breath’?

Now that he he is old enough to be body conscious.

Lynn’s Notes:

At the age of 70, my friends and I have been asking each other questions like: Do you have cataracts yet? Are you done with menopause? Have you got high blood pressure? Diverticulitis? Acid reflux? …All the things seniors start to grumble about.

At least she didn’t catch him checking for crotch hair.

He’s about to enter the confusing world of teenage boy libido.

Panel-three Mike is in a panic that Lizzie saw his bare chest braless.

What I want to know is, how did Lizzie even know about armpit hair at her age, or suspect that Mike would be checking for it.
