For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 18, 2022

Michael just went to ask his father to use his car to take Elizabeth to her ice skating practice. What was the original plan? Was she going to walk the two blocks it takes to get there? Were they gong to go with Dawn’s parents driving?

I wonder how Elizabeth convinced Dawn to go with Mike?

Elizabeth: Dawn, come quick. Michael is going to take us to practice!

Dawn: Urghh! I would rather live.

Elizabeth: But he’s driving my father’s sports car.

Dawn: What? I have to see that. Michael will total that car!

Just curious, but is that clip-on, tethered key ring a safety issue when you have it still clipped to your belt and the key is in the ignition?

He is not so cool now, is he?

I love how that his smug expression (probably inherited from his mother) is wiped off his face!!

Looks like Dawn’s horrid haircut has grown out.

If this is a sports car, it should only be a two-seater (no back seat), so how would Dawn be able to come with them?

Down the sewer…..!

In panel 3 what are the lines across the hood of the car?

Well shit. I’ll bet there’s a storm drain around there somewhere.

Gordon the car thief could show Michael how to jimmy the door and hotwire the car.

Can’t wait to try out those seat warmers

such a fine line between cool and nerd

The car could be drawn hotter looking.

The cost of being flippant!

And just like that, John’s concerns are justified.

Well,we’re off to a flying start.

I would hope John has a spare set (Unlike me) they did cost less back then.
