For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 10, 2020

Boy, they really suck at darts.

Wow, I like her!

He’s Nine and He’s Nasty sounds hilarious. I wish it was real. Just kidding, I wish The Bludgeoning was real. It sounds hilarious.

Ah, the romance of “The Bludgeoning”.

Lynn is allowed to make up movies to go along with the script.

“He’s Nine And Nasty”….. ladies and gentlemen, I give you…… Anthony.

Real romantic all right.

This strip was published in mid-December 1991.

Terminator II may or may not have been released yet…

But I think they were all meant to be fake.

Lynn has said she liked making up movie names… she did it in lots of strips.

So many Rom-coms, so little time.

That target center is going to last awhile.

So let’s see… Gordon wanted to ask Allyson out, but is concerned that Tracey might possibly want to get romantic because he “couldn’t do it.” He knows Tracey but knows nothing about Allyson except he doesn’t expect her to get romantic. You’re still in the weeds, Gordon.

They aren’t any better with darts than they are with girls !

Those boys are very bad at darts! They are going to be grounded when the mother gets home and sees the sofa!

Lynn’s Comments:

My first movie date was with Terry Manning. Terry lived on 4th Street, just a fast walk down the lane from my house on 5th. We went to see “Tarzan” with Johnny Weissmuller. We were in grade 4.

I suppose “Steel Magnolias” is out of the question. Also, as a general observation, take the darts out of those boys hands. Their dangerous.

The Boys are about to learn about “Chick Flicks”

Pretty lousy dart players.

Gordon’s whacking off again. Mike’s response is, “Maybe this is something you should do on your own.”

None of those are romantic, so what is he worried about?

I remember in my senior year in high school I was dating a girl who was a sophomore and we went to go see “Star Wars: Episode IV” when it first came out in 1977.

The Bludgeoning sounds so romantic!

I used to go to the movies with other girls. The first movie I went to see with a guy was “Goldfinger” 1962. In those days you could stay and watch the movie over and over without being made to leave. Memories!!!

Admit it…When you were with the gang, you wished you could be alone with Him / Her….And when you two were alone, you wished someone would come along before you said “Something Stupid”…And when you finally Did Say it…It was amazing how easy it was….…

And it is Tracey who is naming the non romantic movies.
