For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 11, 2024

If so, you are still a bit early.

And afterwards, the house will be uninhabitable from the stinks of all the ensuing farts!!

What a HORRIBLE THOUGHT

Good to see John hasn’t lost his sense of humor.

I predict this won’t last long.

Great way to start the new year!

I had a neighbour that went on a strict diet and imposed it on the whole household without notice nor mutual consent (her husband, two kids, and the kids she babysat). Her husband divorced her eventually (within a couple of years.) I sometimes think that this was her aim.

So John picks up the cover from a steaming pot with his bare hand but Ellie needs gloves because … ?

(sad trombone)

I’ve come to like lentils but only as an additional option never as a substitute.

Don’t be upset John. Lentil still contains a good source of protein. Not as much as actual meat, but definitely much more protein than from celery.

At the very least, all the plant matter is good for the digestion.

Paul McCartney- 81 years old. Ringo Starr- 83 years old. Both have been following a vegetarian diet for multiple decades. While many people in their age range can’t even walk a mile, both Ringo and Paul still do world tours and both still perform concerts for two to three hours per night. I’ve been vegetarian for 15+ years and lost just over 100 lbs, as well.

I’m not a vegetarian but my wife and I have three days a week that we don’t eat meat.

“Bean Melody Casserole”? SPOILERS AHEAD!!

This is where we’re introduced to April’s future love of music.

The medley isn’t from the mixture of beans, it’s from the gas soon to be emitted

So no pepperoni or sausage on the pizza then…

Yes, you are, John.

Geez, they really have been cycling through the same two or three diet fads for a long time, haven’t they? This is about as timeless a strip as you’ll ever see in this 29-year-old saga.

Some how, Elly has become a disciple of Andy Fox and is spreading the good curd, soy curd to be sure.

I’m with John…every couple weeks my wife will do a stew or soup or somesuch sans any kind of meat. For her it is as much cultural as it is health focused, and to be fair, it is always good, so I enjoy it, but even after so many decades together it is a tough sell…I usually pay her back by grilling steaks the next night….

the old story—Mom’s on a diet so that means everybody’s on a diet.

If you see Elly reading THE FOX TROT Cookbook, time to head to the local diner.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot!

GROAN!!

Suddenly, it’s Foxtrot here!

Ways for Elly to eat out and lose weight..

*Elly should sit across from a mother spoonfeeding her baby.

*Elly should sit across from an old man eating lentil soup.

*Elly should eat at the cafeteria of any public school.

*Elly should go to a restaurant where the matrie’d has bad breath.

*Elly could eat at hospital cafeterias within earshot of doctors talking about their operations.

*Elly should enter a Chinese restaurant by way of the kitchen.

Attention to detail ‘TheSkulker’: John just grabbed the lid, Ellie is carrying the pot

@TheSkulker- What cartoon are you looking at?? The first panel clearly shows Jon lifting the handle!

No problem It’s dal good.

Astute observation

Vegetarian: First Nations word for lousy hunter.

Sigh… As usual, when one is on a diet, the whole family must suffer. Totally selfish!!
