For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 07, 2019

Steve is really having the season to be jolly.

That’s not a hobby. That’s a LIFE STYLE.

right now he’s happy

I always enjoy people-watching. You see some interesting behaviours at times. And, like Sheldon and John, I like trains.

If they don’t have a hobby, good luck when they retire. They will drive you back to work.

Why must men always be made to be pigs, there are men who actually are faithful to their wives even in vision.

I see trouble on the horizon.

I never noticed the “East Street” Entrance in my first read-through. It’s a nice touch

One likes trains. One likes the caboose.

It was said in this strip. John has a hobby. Steve does not. John now has something to keep his mind occupied. Steve does not. Steve needs to get a hobby to save his marriage.

Babes.

Hunting

She’s ADVERTISING.

It’s an expensive hobby, but still cheaper than chasing women…..

The implied joke is that Steve is messing around. Anne is NOT happy when she finds out.

Hey women look as much as men do. Heck me and hubby used to go and people watch.

Enjoy those STDs Steve. That is what you get for sleeping around, just like Phil. Of course, the one who is most at risk for AIDS is Lawrence.

That’s my kind of hobby, but my wife doesn’t go for it. So……

“Moses said to you ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’. But I say unto you, That whosoever looks at a woman to lust after her, has already committed adultery {or fornication} in his heart.” -Matthew 5:27

My comment got deleted again. No bad language. No politics. I have tried contact the moderator but they do not respond to my e-mails asking why. I suspect it is because the moderator is a low-paid, poorly-educated, sad sack that was pulled off the streets and given the worst job that gocomics has to offer and simply does not have the intellectual capability of answering e-mail coherently, reasonably or responsibly. I dare the moderator to prove me wrong by clicking the Reply button next to my e-mail.

In what alternate universe do wives buy gifts for their kids and/or husbands?!?!?!?

My comment on this day which was removed by the moderator talked about how there had been many comic strips feature John Patterson doing the same thing Steve Nichols is doing. Apparently model trains have cause John to stop looking at the things going on around him.
