For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 22, 2022

Easy to clean all the dirt up, if you remove your eyes first. However, the downside is that you don’t see your dog.

Recycling!

and Elly just cleaned the house, Farley!

Put yourself in harm’s way, be surprised when harm comes.

Turn about is fair play.

Right back atcha!!

Watch where you shake things out Elly!

My grandmother had a vacuum like that I think she bought in the 1950s, woven cloth-covered hose and all. Seems a bit dated even for the strip’s 1st run.

Do they still make those canister vacuums any more??

A dog , friendly in the household.

What goes around comes around.

What happened? Is this the same backyard porch that the carpenters tore down and have already raised the frame to the new bedroom and bathroom? Maybe this is a flashback dream Elly has.

If only she’d heard the snoring. (please don’t fuss at me about how dogs don’t snore that loud; it was a joke)

Time for the vacuum cleaner. :P

What goes around comes around?

One must be careful of the dirt they spread. It may come back to haunt you.

I’m surprised that John and Ellie didn’t have a central vacuum system installed with the remodel. Most homes built in Canada for many years have had central vacuum systems installed. So nice to just have a hose and the necessary attachments to clean with. Light, easy and seriously convenient as well as whisper quiet.

Pay back’s a witch!!!

Any woman who loves a clean and tidy house would not have a dog like Farley.

I’ve got three dogs. I decided long ago that I like dog hair on everything I own – it’s easier that way!

Well it does serve her right for dumping it on him.

Elly’s first mistake is shaking those rugs into the wind. All of the dirt would end up either on Farley or on the porch with Elly. Remember Jim Croce’s advice: “Don’t spit into the wind.”. There’s a really good reason.

I love how many of FBOFW Sunday comics are wordless, or nearly so, allowing people of all languages to enjoy them.

Sometimes what goes ’round really DOES come ’round.

Give that dog a mop!

It’s the circle of life.
