For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 08, 2014

Be glad you don’t live by Alaska, Michael! I hear their mosquitoes are as big as birds! =-O

Eek mosquitos !!!!! 8^(

Have you ever tried a vacuum cleaner?Brrrr-zlurp! Gone!

Most boys Michaels age LOVE bugs.

They don’t like getting mosquito-bit.

See, all it took to get Lynn’s website working again was to threaten to print her comment from the treasury book for today’s strip. And yes, it is word for word the comment on the website today.

Lynn’s Comment:In the Canadian north, you learn to live with flies. Legends, stories, and songs have been written about them, and no amount of spray will protect you when the season is nigh. I used to complain about the mosquitoes on the west coast, but the black flies, deer flies, and mosquitoes in northern Ontario make wimps out of them. On the GOOD side, the country here is beautiful!

If you really want to see bugs…especially mosquitoes….move to the Mississippi delta during rice season…

In Minnesota, the mosquito is the state bird.

(Just kiddin’. I know it’s the loon.)

Two mosquitoes were overheard discussing what to do with the cow they had just caught (not unlike the trolls in The Hobbit).

“Let’s take her down by the river and suck her dry there,” said one.

“Naw,” replied the other. “If we do that, the big guys will take her away from us.”

You’re right, because we sure have some big-uns in Galveston!

Noah should have swatted those two mosquitos!
