For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 28, 2017

“things” in quotes? I thought there were spooks in her room yesterday. Is there a reason she can’t say, “spooks” to her dad? Religious issues? Ghost discrimination problems? After all:

Elizabeth looks so small in the second panel!

It’s great when Dad is there to be a comfort. Nice job, John…

This is one of those great “aaah” cartoons. It’s always nice to be somebody’s hero, now and then.

Yes, John, it is nice to be somebody’s hero.

My dad was my hero.

If my sisters and I had told dad there was a monster in the closet, he would not have searched the room and reassured us. He would have told us to stop being silly and get back to bed, where we would huddle under the covers, knowing dad was not going to save us from the monster.

What strip was it where the dad got so tired of looking into the crawl space under the bed that he filled it with concrete?

Llizabeth such a sweet little girl

You’ve succumbed to the now routine use of “there’s (there is)” when you should be using the plural form, “there are.” Elizabeth’s comment (and the use of “there’s” earlier in the week) should have been, “There are things under my bed.” I love your cartoon and follow it faithfully.
