For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 24, 2024

Packing to go away from home is hard. Packing to go home is easy. Does it belong to you? Pack it.

I usually need something stronger than tea, LOL.

That was so lame…………….

Liz…you could have done so much better than that

Panel 3: …. GAAAHH!!!

“What’s grandma doing?” … “I think she’s moved in with us without actually saying anything. I think she’s attracted to crappy puns!”

I do that too, except my thinking cup says BUDWEISER on the side, and that ain’t tea in it.

Gosh, I drink 4 liters of iced tea (unsweetened) a day myself. I am not a big fan of hot tea and can’t stand sweet tea.

Maybe she doesn’t want to leave and is procrastinating

“Thinking cap” Anyone else flashing back to TomTerrific?

I’m a devotional writer and before I write I usually make myself a cup of tea.

The power of routine.

More old woman speak from Lynn Johnston with the “Dear me.”

Reminds me of Uncle Iroh. ;-)

Farley

Everything stops for tea!

I truly enjoyed the April & Farley storyline. But it quickly became like it ever happened. Like Luke getting over his murdered aunt and uncle by the very next scene.

Good one, Liz!

I didn’t know that Henny Youngman was a teenage girl living in Canada.

Observing Gramma Carrie’s hair in the first three panels, You can see where Michael’s facial hair get’s its genes.

I’d wait until the afternoon and have some cookies to go with it

I’ll have an iced tea, stirred, not shaken. ;-p

Clearly she’s stalling. You have here an incredibly obscure character whom even the most devoted regular readers will struggle to remember. A rare visit happened to coincide with what is arguably the strip’s most memorable storyline, and she got to stand in the limelight without really doing much of anything. Now for some reason this week’s strips have pivoted from processing grief over the loss of an iconic and beloved pet who’s been there from the beginning, to processing grief over a tertiary character concluding what was always intended as a temporary visit. She’s delaying her overdue departure to milk this rare and inexplicable spotlight for all it’s worth.

My MIL loved tea. All her grandchildren called her “Tea”.

The Strip depicts Grandma pretty well…

Created an account specifically to comment, I’m out. After the way Farley’s death was handled, I have zero interest in continuing to follow, “For Better or for Worse.” I realize it’s a comic strip, but the artist’s refusal to confront the real issues in that storyline really disappointed me. Farley died an agonizing death, and nobody examined how the family’s behavior contributed to that tragic end. Calling him a hero and a star doesn’t cut it. If you choose to rerun old story lines, take a deeper dive. Bye.

Whose mom is she … Ellie’s or John? I’ve lost track.

Okay, absolutely nothing happening today. For a change.
