For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 28, 2024

Quite right…

Very good—now go out and buy yourself a new coat, John. One that doesn’t look like a bathrobe!

April is sort of saying “Does Edgar feel better?” and John is sort of responding with “Yes, and so do the owners”. But that won’t get clipped out and displayed at the veterinarian office.

It looks like April’s speech has improved. Hopefully, she can pronounce “th” words now.

For some reason ‘th’ words seem to be difficult for non-English native thpeakers.

It’s not done just to make the owners feel better. It’s also done to reduce the number of unwanted pets that might end up living on the streets…

why wasn’t Farley neutered? was the real Farley?

but even fixed dogs hump things

OWner? OWNER?! How DARE you act like you own the pet. You are a caretaker or whatever the latest newspeak is.(SARC ALERT!)

Still wagging his tail, so from appearances, he’s happy.

Like Bob Barker always said: “Spay and neuter your pets.”

Edgar was fixed, but he wasn’t broken.

Now you just have to make sure Edgar doesn’t enact revenge for maiming him. You “fixed” him, and now he wants to kill you! (Gotta love dark humor!)

I love Edgar’s goofy face in the first panel!

Where’s his cone?

Now, if only the volunteers who catch and neuter all the stray cats and dogs , would do the same for all stray men who do the same…

And not neutering their pets are so owners can feel stupid and irresponsible and cruel and careless. Why don’t you show her some pictures of puppies getting ready to be euthanized because there are thousands more puppies then would be owners. Is everyone in Canada this stupid or just this cartoon family?

Preventing animal cruelty will make all owners feel good.

Spaying and neutering are acts done by RESPONSIBLE pet owners to eliminate indiscriminate breeding and reduce the vast numbers of animals in shelters who are euthanized due to lack of homes. It can’t be said enough.
