For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 30, 2023

She’s already mastered that trait of only hearing what she wants to

She knows her parents.

i’d hate to say this but i don’t like where this is going to go (I’m not saying anything but long time readers of this strip will know why).

Elizabeth celebrates her “Yess!!” by touching her elbow to her knee. I wonder what exercise she does when she is sad.

will this one get fixed unlike it’s sire?

Is John so clueless that he doesn’t realize that Farley is very old, and soon he’ll be crossing the Rainbow Bridge?

Rejoice that he left a legacy.

A bit off topic, since it’s not about the puppy but Liz has managed to style her hair very nicely. It looks a lot better than when it was first cut.

They’re getting a pup.

He didn’t say “no”, so it’s a sure thing. Start getting some puppy toys and prepare a few rags for puppy training.

I’ve figured it out but I I won’t pass it on ! ! !

Puppies are like kids. You think you want some, until they arrive.

Ah yes the Parent to Teenager translation in action once again.

Oh, oh… Farley is close to ‘end of life’ ;-(

So this is why I could never tell the difference between the two dogs.

Get your facial tissues ready folks. This starts the beginning of one of the saddest arcs in FBOFW.

“Maybe” and “We’ll see” both translate into “Yes”

Anyone know what dates line up on here? What past date would be the same as todays comic?

I still remember Lynn saying that the reruns might have some changes, who knows, maybe!

How come they never considered any other animal as a pet?

I think that if Farley is the father then they need to keep at least one of the pups in case something were to happen to Farley then they would have a memory of him

Hey,when does the rabbit join the strip?
