For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 28, 2023

Uh-oh!

Ominous music playing

I get a feeling the answer will be…..unexpected

With all those DVD movie cases (?) on the bookshelves, I wonder if 6 ‘ready to read’ classes would feel comfortable being scheduled in there?

Dun dun DUN!!

This is where Elly gets the axe.

Foreshadowing me thinks is happening here. Dun…Dun….Duh.

You don’t suppose they’re going to do the unspeakable…?

As we would say in construction … ‘’the axe is gonna fall’’

Heh . . . yeah . . . funny you should mention that . . . .

We can’t.

If this strip is in the 1990s, then Elly’s coworkers are dealing with Campbellnomics.

Sounds like Elly needs to save money for an emergency fund pronto.

Oh, oh…. forget the home redecoration plans.

uh-oh

They can’t.

Uh oh, looks like trouble ahead for Elly. If she is going to afford all that furniture she will have to convince the Enjos to pay her to get Farley to do some backyard breeding. :P

“What the heck, I’m working”

Elly has a JOB:

Just

Over

Broke

There goes Ellie’s redecorating plans.

Priorities!

like the time i learned that, after taxes, military retired pay is about 1/3 of acdu pay. also about the time my step-daughter skipped town and beat me with a co-signed car debt. taught me my $220 mistake every month for 2 1/2 years. even canned cat food was starting to look good.

Her job just disappeared.
