For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 04, 2023

the girls’ plan (well, Candace’s plan more likely) is going to fail

“I like you” would have been a better start.

Oh, no! Duane is going to read the note and think Elizabeth is in love with him and that he has changed his name to Anthony.

Shame

Sometimes love needs to be helped

High school mail delivery leaves a lot to be desired.

This is gonna backfire…

warning, jump ahead

Haven’t you ever heard that playing with matches gets people burned?

Stop tampering with other peoples lives, try getting one of your own.

Embarrassment in not the only emotion that is going ‘show up’ when that note gets picked and read ! ! !

How was any of that imagined to be fun? Even the idea was cruel.

Yeah… What could go wrong? It just did when all the boys see and learn about the note.

A public service message announcement.

YES!! Read it to the class!

Makes you wonder what the rest of Candace’s life will be like. Full of bad plans and judgments?

" The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft agley,"

Robert Burns

And that is how life works…

Now Teachers going to read it to the whole class…

Now the whole world will know

What is a good way to keep Duane in one place?

Velcro on the ceiling!

The @#$% is going to hit the fan now!

Someone’s got to say it, Candice is a real B-rhymes with-itch

Dawn has given Anthony his own Pearl Harbor!

I wish the Uncle Remus stories could come back out of disfavor with the public. Dawn and Candace could learn an important lesson if they knew about Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch.

Poor Elizabeth……

Well, they’ll have to move to another country now.

“With friends like those…?”

REALLY not a good idea! Suppose Anthony hadn’t felt the same way. This would ruin a good friendship for him & Liz! (I speak from experience…trust me. A guy I had been friends with in junior high had gotten better looking & I was starting to develop more than feelings of friendship for him in high school. I wrote him a note telling him so . He got mad & dropped me like a hot potato . (It turned out he was gay) To this day I wish I had kept my feelings to myself because the guy REALLY was a good friend .
