For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 16, 2025

Oh Mike. You wouldn’t be having those neck problems if you invited Jodi and Kit to come skiing with you.

The young ladies are beautifully drawn, but Weed still looks like a cartoon! Reminds me of an experiment some years back, when some “Betty & Veronica” comics were drawn “realistically”; it flopped big-time! How can you render a lifelike image of Archie or Jughead? And the stories were ore soap-opera than comic! Glad that “phase” is over!

How can Mike’s neck be killing him? He’s already a pain-in-the-neck. LOL.

If he has that bad a problem with women who are bundled up, he better not go to the beach.

Looks like Mike is finally over Rhetta.

I vote for the girl in panel 4.

Mike is young, single and clueless. Doesn’t he know that those girls are also looking at him? I once had a snow-bunny ask me for a ride home. I wasn’t clueless, but married.

Either all the girls have learned to ski with their eyes closed, or they’re just not seeing Mike!

Hips – You’re supposed to rotate your hips when skiing!

The biological impetus cannot be denied. It’s what makes the human race.

yeah, from all that staring sure can do a number on your neck… :j

You should have spent less time rubbernecking, Mike, and more time watching where you were going!

Interesting trivia note. Mike and all the girls back in the original 1996 version were all wearing woolen knit ski hats with some interesting stripes or flower designs.

Now for safety sake, they are replaced today by the hard safety helmets although more ugly looking.

And they are not wearing bikinis……………

Huh, it kind of feels like Mike and Weeder have reversed their roles in this one.

Lotta nice scenery out there

Mike’s a poor Uni student – yet he can afford to go skiing?

Looks like Micheal is getting over Rhetta!

Mike seems more into Après skiing.

Jeez, with that last one (the blonde girl), if he got any closer or more obvious, she’d have to smack him!
