For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 11, 2022

Clocked out

In Canada, I believe is it called a licence plate number.

“I just told you how’s the job. It’s paying off!”

Looks like this is the beginning of Gordon’s career as a mechanic/entrepreneur.

I remember “The Love Boat”, but not “The Love Bus”!! LOL

He’s so excited to tell Gordon her eye color.

“Green Eyed Lady, Lovely Lady”. Sugarloaf.

nope, he’s still traveling on it actually.

Lynn’s Comments:

When I was doing this grocery store series, I had no plans to connect Michael with his co-worker, Rhetta. As in real life, stuff just happened. Things like this took me by surprise—and I just went with it. Sometimes the surprise worked out, sometimes it didn’t. Either way, it added interest to the story.

Girls make guys dumb.

The work isn’t hard when you’re with your crush, but it’s harder to work.

@howtheduck-I believe that’s one of those words you can spell either way.

Ah summer romance, when a young boys mind turns to MUSH!!!

He’s working on it?

Once again, the “Aren’t they strange ‘over there’ ?” train of thought avails itself. Goof grief. Ontario is next door neighbors, NOT people from Mars. And lest provincialism sets in, try visiting a retail establishment in Ontario some time where the staff doesn’t know you and listen to how frequently the conversation turns to, "Those rude visitors from ‘The States’ ".

Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

Mike, that bus is just a passing fancy!!!

Job? What job?? Lord, i miss the teenage hormones.

Like the guys who think school is a place to socialize and cruise chicks. Getting an education and preparing for the future is anything but their concern.

Gordon always looks to me like a middle-age man.

Rhetta lasted a while,and her family didn’t ignite the gas tank on their motorboat

A teenager with carbonated hormones; which is pretty much all of them.

Nobody said it- Mike got hit by the Thunderbolt, as we learned in " The Godfather".

As a journalist, Michael will be a drinker with a writing problem.
