For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 26, 2009

Connie, and Phill don’t end up together, and Lawrence grows up, and comes out. He tells Mike he’s gay. I’am not makeing this up, does anyone else remember?

i’ll remember it all in good time.

Yes, that was how it happened.

How often does Connie send Lawrence over to see Mike in order for him to have established a pattern between men coming to see his mother and that they are “more” than good friends? He’s only 6! That’s quite an adult observation.

I hope Elly is just tidying up and not throwing out the presents the day after Christmas the way she did with the Hallowe’en candy.

Mishka, we have been reading FBOFW for a LONG time - Yes, we know what happens - Yes, we remember.

John Holmes was Sherlock’s cousin

Google the name if you want to know. Too bad Connie will go through a lot of pain where Phil is concerned before finding someone else.

And who says reading the comics isn’t edifying?

We all know how to Google. I did not need this information with my morning coffee!

I deleted it for the tender eyes, but knowing is half the battle.

John Holmes was an adult film star. Two Hollywood movies have been made based on his life - “Boogie Nights” and “Wonderland”.

Funny how Mike’s refers to Lawrence’s mom and “Connie” but Lawrence refers to Elly as “Mrs. Patterson”…

Yes, @Mishka, I remember, but what I don’t know is who Connie ends up with - I hope it’s a good man, not like her first two husbands. I think that must have taken place when I was not buying the newspapers and not reading the comics.

Lordy, how many people have to play Obviousman for today’s strip…. enought.

Either I’m going crazy, or this is the second time my comments have been deleted. Okay, I’ve learned my lesson and will never mention the “J.H” name again here.

What’s JH?

mrslukeskywalker, read the comment thread and you’ll find out.

we should be wondering just how many times jad watched those films….and how closely.

I think you’re right Burg2, but they’re not bumping anybody else who makes a similar comment, oh well. btw, looks like we’ve swapped spots!

Ohhhhh!

Swell!

Thanks hildigunnur. You know. I DID read that one, but not being a man, and not knowing my gay porn, especially well enough to give history lessons on it in comic comments, the name just didn’t stick, so when I read discoEd’s comment, I thought it had something to do with Connie. I wish I still did, lol.
