For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 14, 2024

Teenage logic

Just not the way Mom wants.

Teenage Liz has arrived

Elly’s head looks considerably smaller than Liz’ in the last panel.

Happy Valentine’s day Mom. Nice to see Elly is the same grumpy face she always has even on today!

And even nice to see that teenagers have the same HANGUPS today as they did back in 1995!

Must be reading “Hansel and Gretel”

A coat tree and a shoe rack by the entry would help.

Just hang them where they’re supposed to be hung, Liz.

Twit.

Elizabeth is so lazy & entitled.

And with those extra long fingers, that should be a snap!

“But this way I know exactly where it is!”

Ugh! Stupid moms and their inflexible “my way or the highway” attitude…

A little airing out. After coming in from the cold.

…on a hanger though?

This is the way…

She is technically correct! But that won’t buy her as much time as she thinks. ;-)

Get the kid a used exercise bike. Then she’ll have somewhere to hang her stuff.

Why hang it up? You will be going back out in one hour anyway. (Teenage logic. Even I did that…many years ago)

Elizabeth starts off a giant with her height lining up with the top of the door, but by the time she gets all those clothes off, she can’t even reach to the top of the door. I suspect she must have some lifts in those socks.

Just not where you’re supposed to, Elizabeth.

all over the place, but yeah, she did. :J

Nobody is dumb enough to think this is okay…

Like I always say “Don’t have a cow over for spilt milk!”

Yep, typical where ever you drop it is where it belongs.

After a fashion.

If Michael were there, he would be crying with pride right now. He taught her well.

Sounds a lot like this Calvin & Hobbes:

Calvin is covered in head to toe in dirt and dust, like Pig Pen

Mom: Goodness, you are filthy. Into the tub with you.

Bathroom. Bathtub obstructs all of Calvin’s body except his head

Calvin: I obey the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

Mom{shouting from downstairs}: I want to hear some running water in the next 30 seconds!

Calvin: Nuts.

Calvin gets out of bathtub, still fully dressed

No. You didn’t…..

Liz is filling in for Mike….

Just classic.

“Hang” … “Up”

Better than a lot of kids
