For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 23, 2021

That’s why April and Farley are besties. They share their stuff with each other.

Gross…

Sharing

I like the upward perspective in the third panel!

Panel 4: …Good God, Lynn… Couldn’t you have chose something that doesn’t look like a phallus??

Mom, you really should watch your kid.

Sometimes a chew toy is just a chew toy. But a dirty mind will see dirt everywhere.

That’s a odd shaped toy.

Kids today live in a sterile bubble. Their bodies cannot build up tolerance to anything. One kid coughs and the entire school is closed down for a week. If a kid gets chicken pox? Heaven forbid. When I was a kid, if one kid got measles, all the mothers sent their kids over to play with the infected one. You will get it eventually so get it over with. You got over the flu. How is a child supposed to build immunities if they are never exposed to anything? I simple cough and the kid is sick for ages. We had a spoonful of Buckley’s. “It tastes awfull but it works” And it did. We were never sick for more than a day…not two weeks.

Well, for what it’s worth, I’m thinking Mom would take her toy away if she noticed it. …go tattle Farley.

Dogs and crawly kids — both four-legged animals to some extent.

dog biskits aren’t gross, not much flavor but edible.

@Lynn Johnston – What happened to the kid that expected to get beat by his father?

As a little kid, my mother once washed my mouth with Fels Naptha after finding me in the neighbor’s dog house sharing a chew bone with the dog. The dog was generous with his stuff – Mom was generous with the Fels Naptha. Fels Naptha does not taste good. I haven’t chewed a bone ever since.

Well that kid will have a robust immune system

how did the dog get it anyway did he bite the baby

This turned out even funnier than if April took her pacifier back!

Is that quid pro quo?

Poor pup just can’t win!:(

She should be one with the dogs
