For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 26, 2021

The gender changes, but the drive is the same.

She has interests in other guys.

Okay player careful what you ask for

Sorry Martha, but you have been dating Michael for 4 years, not two. You started a relationship back at the summer camp 4 years ago.

She’s about to dump him for her other interests

Martha, look at the bright side, at least his interest isn’t in what’s between your legs like a lot of boys his age.

Mike has butts in his front. Surprised Martha didn’t notice. Too busy giving Mike a piece of her mind.

giggles Wha’t good for the goose is good for the gander.;D

“Prepare to deploy puffy-lips…. Engage!!”

It is kind of hard to believe that a guy who has been dating a girl friend steady for two years that he met when she was 14, and just a couple of months ago he thought finding his sister’s training bra in the laundry was gross. Girl, that guy is not mature to stick around for two years!

I was at the DQ last night standing in line behind 3 teenage girls. There was a table of 3 teenage boys who had just received their ice cream and were eating and talking. The girls were all giggly and casting glances at the boys. What about the boys you ask? Totally oblivious.

…and THAT is why Michael ultimately ended up w/ Dee & NOT Martha!

I suppose Lynn is trying to show that Martha is hypocritical, but I’m not sure a momentary distraction is the same as a hyperfixation.

It’s ok for our minds to stray and long as we teach our bodies to stay.

“You have heard it said ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’. But I tell you that anyone who looks at another with lust has already committed adultery {or fornication} with that person in their heart”. -Matthew 5:28

It’s best to keep your options open!

Michael you lost out.

Weel he did have interest in other girls, before the cars.

Martha’s already checking out other guys. She’s ready to give up on Michael.

A case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Really, Michael, boys your age should be thinking about sex, not cars.

Wake up, Michael, you’re about to learn a hard lesson!

What’s with the lips in panel 4?

Foreshadowing…

See what you’re not interested in, Mike.

“It’s always Martha. I’m so sick of it! Martha Martha Martha!!”

She’s not the one for him.
