For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 10, 2024

Mike, the laundry rooms thataway.

Are the leftovers for Edgar?

on holidays already ???? (it’s the 10th of December)

Doesn’t the house where Mike and Weed are living have a washer/dryer? Or do the girls monopolize them?? BTW, will Elly blow her stack upon learning her son is sharing a house with two girls?

SPOILER ALERT: Weed is a “poor little rich boy”. Most likely, he’ll be spending the holidays with the household servants while his parents are off to their annual jaunt in Europe.

What, no Christmas gifts, Michael?

Student luggage!

One of my former communities provided residents with big garbage bags emblazoned with, “Keep Poke-a-Potato Clean!” I saw those garbage bags in airports 1500 miles away!

I wasn’t allowed to bring my laundry home, so I did it at school before the Christmas/New Year’s break so I wouldn’t have to do it after I got back to school. Doing laundry during my undergrad years was never a bad thing. There were always girls in the laundromat, either on campus or off, so I always got to meet and chat with them. None of the encounters ever led anywhere for me, though.

One of the “extras” my university provided was laundry service. It wasn’t cheap; so people rationed their dirty clothes.

I never brought laundry. In fact, I used to launder on Friday nights. The place was nearly deserted in State College the years I was at Penn State.

My daughters do their own laundry before they leave college to come home.

Watch out, Michael, Edgar seems to be taking an interest in your laundry ! ! !

What? Isn’t there a laundromat at college?

Take your own garbage to the laundromat, boy-o.

I never brought laundry home from college and would do what I’d had packed for the break just before going back.

If this was animated, can you imagine what Michael would sound like with that swelled cheek? Probably like it is stuffed with cotton.

He’s renting a house, wouldn’t the house have an washer/dryer?

Wow! Already sorted for Mum or Sis. Thoughtful!

What ever “one” is! Why cannot people say, “Have a safe trip” or “Have a good day” or “Have a good time” instead of “one” – - – who knows what they mean by that? “Have a good accident?” “Have a good fall?” Too much is left to a person’s interpretation. This ends my gripe!

Black laundry bags – Student’s Samsonite!

It’s a running gag in the strip that vacation time from school is lug the laundry home.When Mike graduates,Liz will take up t he slack

He has the decency to separate the colors from the whites

I love how Edgar is always baffled by these crazy humans!

Honestly, where we would be without constant cliche’s , how would Don Draper survive ??? ;-0

At least he has started sorting the laundry.

Leftovers?

Better get started, boy!

They don’t have laundry rooms or washers n’ dryers at college??

This is totally unrealistic. No college boy separates whites and colors.

Never brought dirty clothes back to my folk’s house. very rarely went there during the year, so had to wash my own.

Mom: Welcome home, Mike. Do your laundry.
