For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 19, 2018

Oh boy. Elly will have a meltdown.

I’ll go with “what,” Lawrence.

A few notes:

1. Who has popcorn fights in the pitch dark? What kind of popcorn fight ends up with everyone off their feet and so off their feet that their feet are sticking straight up in the air? I don’t think even caramel corn has that kind of punch.

2. Who are these kids? I don’t see Martha or any of her two best friends or any of Mike’s male friends. Where are Gordon and Brian anyway?

3. What is it with the colourist putting every single girl in purple?

Wonder what was in that popcorn?

Why is that what they would do in the dark? It’s a boy-girl party!

Where’s Martha?

Lynn’s Notes:

It wasn’t a cool scene. The pop went down and came right back up again. It came out our mouths and out of our noses. I’d chosen cream soda and I was covered in it. My dress was soaked up the front, the guys were also wet and embarrassed, but we laughed anyway. The audience was silent, and I had learned something: It’s of utmost importance to practice a gag before you try to pull it off. When a gag goes wrong, the troops are called and the night ends quickly. I wasn’t invited back.

We put the lights down and started making out. This is when I found out boys have more hands than the Mahakala.

That was a LOL.

Hey! Mike! Way to crush the fun!
