For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 12, 2022

Au revoir, Lawrence, once your stepfather gives you his biggest two cents.

I think Lawrence might be gay.

And so – it begins!!!

/SHEESH/

I think the “one in ten” came from a certain Dr. Alfred Kinsey and has since been updated to a more accurate percentage.

CAN’T SEE THE COMICS? USING ADBLOCK PRO? Go into SETTINGS —> ADVANCED and turn OFF “Easylist”. That SHOULD do it.

The Kinsey report’s figure of 10% of men as being gay is now widely seen as an overestimate…

This is so painful to read.

Who will talk sense into HER??

Or is that impossible?

So turn it over to dad to talk to him because your to hysterical.

Uh oh, now it’s going to hit the fan.

I have a feeling that this story arc is not going to be very comical.

Somebody needs to talk sense into you

Here comes Greg to make it all worse..

I went to a grooming session…er a lecture…where I heard propaganda and lies about how 10% of men are gay (that is now disproven). I met a 20 year old pedarast on the ski slopes who appealed to my base instincts and groomed – er encouraged - me to act on them so he could have a new “buddy”.

This is so sad. It is saddest to see a comic strip use this platform of a family comic read by young teens to push this behavior and attempt to normalize it. But grooming has been happening for decades from such platforms.

God bless

At least she said “talk” some sense into him and not “knock” some sense into him.

So far, ‘Mom’ is acting like so many Mothers, today. They don’t listen to what is being said by their children ! ! ! !

is he adopted ? he looks black and they are both caucasion

How sad that his best friend & his mom are both reacting so badly.

I love you just the way you are. Now change.

What are you afraid of?

That’s parent failure right there.

Mother worst nightmare.

This ought to be interesting?

“Talk some sense into him” ? What is her problem??? If my son told us (yes I have a son) that he is gay, we’d accept and love him just the same as we always have. Isn’t his happiness important? Like I said yesterday – geeeeezzzz!!!! :P

It is NOT one in ten. More like 2 in a hundred!

Hey #Groomer “come to my lecture”, “don’t go to church”, “it’s perfectly normal”

Perhaps Connie you are just not saying it loud enough. Try again!

I can understand this mother’s feeling as if she lost her expectations of having a son marry and gave grandchildren. But it also shows she never really knew her son. I have read many heartwarming stories of children who came out to parents who said, “I know, dear. I’ve just been waiting for you to figure that out.” How lucky those children are! But this comic reflects a pervasive attitude in the 1980s.

It’s not Lawrence that needs sense talked into him…

Smack some sense into him.

He still lives with his parents and is angering them with this? Notice to Lawrence: Do not bite the hand that feeds you.

Lawrence,Is That You?(A really terrible movie).

MESSAGE TO DONUT SHOP—-Don’t close early.

Gocomics has finally crossed the line by refusing to load comics if you have an adblocker. Farewell, friends, I’ll find my amusement elsewhere.

Elly has clearly taught Connie all about how to IGNORE her kid!

1 in 10? I just looked it up – it’s just under 3%

The lecture thing worries me although he is at least old enough to make a decision. Not like what is going on in several schools nowadays, teaching it in fourth grade and below.

no punching that’s mean

As I recall, Greg kicks him out

This reminds me of when Annie’s daughter was born with 6 fingers on each hand. “Elly, what did I do wrong?” She thought she caused it because she wasn’t baking homemade whole wheat bread and squeezing fresh orange juice from organically grown oranges.

10% is a lie.

Greg ttlk some sense into him….. Yeah, Right…. Thats going to happen!
