For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 29, 2020

Yay we finally get to meet Tracy!!

Well, couples who were friends first will always remain friends into marriage – you both get promoted to best friends status, Gordon.

You got only the hots for Allison, don’t you, Gordon?

Had we seen Tracey before or did she just throw in a totally new character?

That’s the chance you take when you cross that line Gord. It’s very hard to go back to the way it was before you dated a friend.

If he doesn’t feel that way about Tracey then he shouldn’t do it.

I had some friends ask me out – I turned them down cause I valued our friendship more.

There’s a lot of truth to this situation. There was a girl at my work that I wanted to ask out, and technically, I was her supervisor. It you cross that line and ask her out – it will be be difficult when you STOP dating. Short story long: she and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year – with 3 kids.

Sounds a lot like Lamont and Susan over in Candorville.

Gord has a point.

Gordon….the Charlie Brown of FBORFW.

If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. I think that is a song, but truer words were never spoken.

“Start with”??

Do your eyes rove, Michael?

Damn right! Ask her out!

I remember reading this comic strip back in 1991 and wondering what kind of girl would be friends with Gordon “Hormone Attack” Mayes, the kind of guy that virtually every girl would shun in school (and in a real school would have seen the inside of a detention hall every time he did a “hormone attack.”) I figured it would be a new girl at school who had not been warned about Gordon, or maybe a girl from a different school who knew nothing about Gordon.

Nice today. We get to meet Tracy and no one printed spoilers about her.

I married my best friend.

Poor Gordon, always drawn with a weak chin.

What happened to the “King Michael Kong” joke?
