For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 04, 2024

Looks like they are scrambled too!

Didn’t whoever bagged those groceries know that eggs are supposed to be o the top of the pile?

Welcome to the world of journalism Mike! Next stop, the Pulitzer Prize! ;)

Of course, the article may attract unwanted attention in the form of thieves and government inspectors.

If this is a continuation from yesterday just a minute or so later as time passes, then there is a fortunate mystery. The loaf of bread at the top of the cardboard box has changed from the sickeningly green colored bread yesterday to a more healthy brown colored loaf of bread.

Aww, I’d have to forgive Mike this one time for the broken eggs. He has an adrenaline rush of his first successful article publication and probably won’t be able to sit still for hours….if not a day or two! Congratulations Michael!

Produce Farm….thats an original name for a produce market. LOL!

Heck, the Baggers at the grocery store do similar as they lob my bags into the grocery cart. Also put the fresh produce in with the frozen items.

Mike’s FIST broke them all….while they were on the kitchen table, AFTER being taken out of the bag. They made it home safely, then Mike changed things. lol

It’s great he can get eggs what with all the chicken farms “mysteriously” catching fire

These days, that’ll cost him his whole paycheck.

John will say “You deserve a reward. Here is a can of Barbasol for you.” :P

To the store,

To the store,

To the store,

You go.

To get more eggs,

To get more eggs,

To get more eggs,

You know.

Your a dolt,

Your a dolt,

Your a dolt,

You know.

So Michael, it’s off to the store you go.

LOL… NEVER put eggs on the bottom of the bag.

Enthusiasm and eggs don’t mix.

Family keeps you humble.

Elizabeth makes yet another bad pun based on someone getting a new job, which requires Mike to slam groceries violently on a counter to set it up. Other puns considered for today’s comic strip were:

Mike: I am a great fit for this new position. {Bends over and rips pants}

Elizabeth: Uh..You just don’t fit in your clothes any more.

Mike: I can’t wait to see my name in the byline.

Elizabeth: You need to buy a new line of eggs

Mike: Breaking news is now written by Mike Patterson

Elizabeth: The breaking news today is the eggs.

“Local Boy Breaks Eggs!” Must be a slow news day.

I’m not sure if we’re supposed to laugh at the final panel. Elly looks more confused than gobsmacked.

Well, holding it up so it drips all over the floor isn’t exactly helping, Liz.

Wait? What happened to all thise complaining yesterday about Elly and John not congratulating Michael?

My late guitarist husband looked great with his long red hair and neatly trimmed facial hair. Each other their own, I guess. Sure miss my Ken.
