For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 04, 2008

I like Sally Forth, too, and I also wish Gocomics would carry Rose is Rose.

With the Michael and Elizabeth so young, April isn’t part of the Patterson family yet. Would you consider aging the family a few years so April can be included? At least up to the point before Farley dies saving April from drowning in the river. I can still remember reading that series of strips like it was only yesterday.

Leave it as is. It’s great to see it all happen again.

Thanks for having Mom catch the boys and teach them some good fish care. You’re also honestly showing a young childs reaction to a fish bowl.

Be that as it may…a fish just ain’t a “real pet”

Maybe they should get Michael an aquarium with many other kinds of fish, they’re so much fun to watch and so relaxing.

I watched this family grow over the years. They always found humor in times of joy and times of pain. I will miss them greatly…

I just hope this strip doesn’t end up like “Family Circus”.

Thank goodness the fish isn’t going to be stirred to death. Did they ever explain how the Patterson’s got Farley? Does anyone remember?

I remember. Farley came from an older English lady who was a neighbor of the Pattersons. She bred English Sheep Dogs. She gave a “runt” to the Pattersons. We will see if Lynn does it the same way this time around. Can’t wait!
