For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 20, 2020

seriously, Michael, what kind of older brother are you to both Elizabeth and April when it comes to refrigerator raiding?

Hair in refer is dark brown. Must be Mike, John’s hair is lighter.

“Clank, root, munch, search”? I have a sudden urge to watch reruns of the Batman TV series…..

Rooting reflex……. searching for food…….like what wink-wink

That’s Michael…..

Good answer, Mom!

Well, I suppose that’s as good a reason as any for ‘rooting around’ in the refrigerator. Sounds better than ‘grazing’.

Lynn’s Comments:

I was really happy with this strip. Sometimes the muse hands you a goodie.

You never cease to raise a chuckle and remembrance of a normal family event. And you have been doing so very well, for so very long. May you continue on for many more years in good health and prosperity. Love you Canucks!!

I always called what Michael is doing “browsing and grazing”.

With teenagers, I found that it’s cheaper to clothe ’em than to feed ’em!

This is not an authentic strip. The characters are always bug-eyed in the last panel.

A pediatrician I once did lab research with pointed out how our baby rats were exploring with their mouths, and said that human babies do the same.

One of the basic skills of survival.
