For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 22, 2025

Too late now!

Too late, Elly. He already cut off some of your hair. He gotta finish.

WHAT mind???

Mister, what if you “accidently” cut her throat??

Give her the Sinéad O’Connor look..

The artistry is interrupted.

We know where April gets it. :P

She’s a woman. She can do that.

Too late for that after he’s done those first hurried snips.

I cut my hair when I was 18, I got tired of putting in perms and damaging my hair with curls. It was the best decision I ever made and even in my 30s, I still pull it off and look like I’m in my 20s. But I did for me, not because of some teenage brat.

That potato crop is growing nicely.

Sorry, but you can tell he’s already done some cutting which means he can’t put it back on. She’s going to have some bangs, fullness there and wisps there. She needs to have him finish what he’s started. Then if she still doesn’t like it, she’ll need to grow it all back. I know how that goes as a friend of mine did a lousy job on my last hair cut & I’m still trying to grow it back out so I can have it recut by a professional.

Now we know that Ellie doesn’t reserve her insanity for John, alone.

When I was in school, one day my friends & I were discussing what we were going to do “when we grew up”. My friend J said that she wanted to be a stylist. Another friend said, “Great! You can give [Wren] a haircut.” J said, “I am NOT going to be the one to cut her hair!” Fast forward a few years. I was 20 & decided to cut my hair shorter than I’d worn it in years. I walked into the salon & was seated. Suddenly, behind me I hear a gasp. Yup, J was my stylist! We still joke about that day.

Hair grows back. I don’t get the problem.

That description sounded a lot like a Karen cut. Good thing she changed her mind.
