For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 18, 2024

Hello Mrs. Dingle!

So much for Weed wondering if a bar was nearby.

Will Jodi and Kit expect Mike and Weed to clean the kitchen after using it? To Jodi and Kit’s specifications?

Uh, Mike—what about Rhetta??

Down, boys..

Two characters Lynn had more planned for then just kinda forgot

Sharing a kitchen with Jodi and Kit kinds of reminds me of Janet and Chrissy of Three’s Company, and that was good enough for Jack Tripper. And Larry. Would be good enough for me.

Once they moved in they found out Jodi and Kit were a couple.

Today they would be lesbians, transgenders, or undefined…cant we just go back if you have a set or don’t have a set..

Do I hear hormones raging?

She looks like my old landlady from the first apartment I had when I was in college!

Well, we had a “Three’s Company” drama so maybe now there’ll be a “Four’s Company” drama.

A good strip based on a Tim Burton movie (guess which one):

Jillings: You are moving out? Over a few simple jokes to overcome boredom?

Michael: Well Jillings, nobody wants a prank war. Let us shake hands and that will be it.

Michael extends his hands; Jillings shakes

Jillings: Whoa, whoa, WHOA!

Electricty sizzles, soon Jillings’ body is in flames

Michael: Oooh, going to be a hot time on the old town tonight!

Nothing is left of Jillings but a charred skeleton

Michael: A 40,000 volt buzzer! Ha ha you were always were a vicious b*stard, Jillings!

Presto, the magic words for Weed!

Okay. All the votes are in. And the winner is: Mike hits it off with the blonde, who I hope is named Jodi and not Kit (my personal preference), and he dumps Rhetta (in his awkward beat-around-the-bush way).

Weed was thriving in the dorm. He got the school to give them a dumpster right by the building. That really is a major victory for an undergrad and would improve quality of life for all the residents, making him a hero and a leader.

Also, isn’t he attending this school rather than some super-elite one because he’s tired of a life of privilege that has left him isolated?

Rhetta? Rhetta who? Haha… a Bird in hand – you know the cliche’…

Before making the commitment – they should ask if they already have boyfriends.

aCTUALLY,i DON’T THINK WE EVER SAW THOSE TWO GIRLS AGAIN…..

There she is…Miss Americaaaaaa…..

Fresh from her last job as MArie Dressler’s stunt double

There are always……possibilities ! ;-)

Bob and Carol, meet Ted and Alice

This could be a funny one:

Josef: Today is moving day.

Michael: All right!

Sign: EVICTION NOTICE: You are ordered to vacate the premises immediately.

Michael: But, but, we just moved in! We have yet to give you the security deposit as well as first and last month’s rent.

Landlady: No worries, that is not for you. Those tenants did not pay their rent, so out they went! The good news for you is that it will not be cramped. Looks like you will not be sharing the kitchen with Kit and Jodi.

Michael and Josef Weeder stare into space with open mouths and shocked expressions

The girls don’t look too happy. Mean Girls?

Which head leads, the little or the big head?

Where you’re not with the one you love, love the one you’re with. (Not my philosophy, I just remember the song.)

ooooh, I always loved the landlady storyline!
