For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 04, 2011

Building the scene. He’s going to be a successful writer.

Why Mothers get gray hair.

my daughter loved no clothes..can definitly be embarrassing

Mike’s daughter will do something similar to him on the beach in about 20 years :D

Ah, to be that young again, and not care WHO sees what! That’s the beauty and innocence of childhood.

Love Michael in the last panel. I’m gonna put that look on my face today and make my fire company wonder what I’m up to.

first time i’ve had a “laugh out loud” moment on this strip in a while. lots of smiles and the occasional chuckle along the way, but laughs are priceless.

Can I get away with the boots-and-umbrella thing, and just chalk it up to a ‘senior moment’ when the police arrive?

On Lynns page, apparently, this actually happened!

Well, at least her outfit is waterproof…

OMG………IT NOT RAIN….BAD GIRL…….

Agree with yyyguy…I had a good laugh with this one…but of course my name happens to BE Elizabeth!…LOL

One of my 3yr.old daughters slipped out to play in the snowlike that twenty three years ago

in the front yard

he has a wonderful sense of timing!

She got tired of Ellie telling her not to get her clothes dirty. No risk of that this way!.Like Dennis the Menace standing in the doorway completely covered in mud from head to toe. Mom tells him to take off his dirty clothes before he comes into the house, and he says, “I ain’t wearin’ any!”

This reminds me of my kids. Place we lived at a neighbor water their grass, water drains in on the curb by the street my son and daughter would play in the water there. My daughter figured out how to take her diaper off and not a stitch of clothes on my son her older brother no shoes or socks would run in the water. What fond memories.

I think this is my favourite “strip” of all time!

Go, Mike! Yes, budding writer for sure. :)

Night Gaunt: And a long way from Wreck Beach.

I don’t recall their going there during their recent visit to Vancouver.
