For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 08, 2023

Nope she’s not!

Uh-oh.

Busted!

Glad to see that Farley is still around. I wish GoComics wouldn’t show the arc where he dies, but I suppose that’s not possible.

Well, someone knows the difference.

And she’s not coming back

Eeee-YUP!

Do kids still hang out at the mall?

Caught.

From Lynn’s Comments: When both my folks were working, it was my job to go home and put on supper. This is right from my childhood.

Your mother will know.

Oh dear… I figure it’s not only that supper’s not on, but if this is before cell phones were popular, Elly doesn’t even know if Liz is safe or not.

It’s a new situation. The family will adapt to it.

No…

Does Lo-Jack make a suppository?

Peer pressure 1, your conscience 0. Why does it seem peer pressure always wins? Standing up for what’s right is always a tough thing to do. Opposition in all things.

Ooh, now you’re gonna get it, Lizard Breath! Ellie’s very lucky to have found this opportunity, the last thing she needs is to worry that you’re too irresponsible to come home on time or let anyone know where you are.

Uh-oh is right, someone’s in trouble.

Ah, the dreaded peer pressure. If only there were a vaccine for that.

Elizabeth is having cold beans for supper.

So easily lead astray.

Confucius say—-humbly suggest Elizabeth consult brand new advice committee. Current one smell like month old squid.

They should see Michael’s good friend Wesley D. Bates.

Master Bates can pull them into something more stimulating.

Elizabeth, Candance and that other kid can be good Canadians, chanting “Stop Mr. Trump” repeatedly in the street.

She should know by now to NEVER listen to Candace, and WE all know that the people with goofy teeth are idiots!

Those hats. April’s is huge, but Elly’s look like it compacts her head into a smaller head.

Ahh, the days before cell phones.

I think Elly will notice Liz’s absence…

Elizabeth’s mother, she will notice the difference!
