For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 01, 2022

Well, he doesn’t want to go back to the farm

He applied to become a mattress tester, like Li’l Abner!

Farley? Professional bath and grooming? Farley, the professional garbage raider, professional mud bather and professional dirt tracker? All the money wasted within an hour back home from grooming.

Elizabeth envisioning her brother flippin’ burgers at a few dollars per hour?

Welcome to the real world, Mike!!

That should give Liz some ideas, too, about what to do during the summer.

Ah, 16.

Want money? Work weekends, summers and two nights a week for minimum wage, then do homework. Fortunately, I was too tired at the end of the week to go out, so I saved enough after a couple of years to buy my first (used) car.

It appears that ‘Michael’ has been forgiven for his ‘earlier driving episode’ and is trusted once again——although not sure that ‘Farley’ will trust him for a while pending the outcome of his visit to the ‘Pet Care Center’ ! ! ! ! !

I ran into a school friend of mine who was working in a gas station, and I didn’t know what to say. Years of yakking, joking and insults, and suddenly he said “yes sir” to me. …spooky odd, that. A little sad too.

It´s better not to clip a dog for the summer, the long hair traps air and provides an insulating layer and doesn´t let the sun reach the skin.

Good job Michael, the road to maturity, self subsistence, and becoming a useful, caring member of society is a long one filled with potholes and potential wrong turns. The road never ends, and many will quit the journey only to become one of those potholed in your own road.

totally worth it not to spend the next 2 weeks cleaning dog fur out of the bathtub.

You….a job…ha,ha,ha!

Didn’t he work on a farm last Summer, and come away with a lot of knowledge about where our food comes from?

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear…Fuzz Wuzzy cut his hair..

Then Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy,was he?

Aside from exposition, why is Elizabeth going on this trip?

Love Farley looking over the back seat in P1…. I have seen that look before. : )

Shut up, Liz! You think Mike was going to stand by and let his bastard parents mail him off to Northwest Hell again? He needs to find a new girl before they can scheme to break it up!
