For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 02, 2015

Um… Mike has a point there in the final panel?

That’s probably, exactly the way I would have phrased it !Of course, my mother’s reaction might not have been what I was expecting.

Touche, Michael, although neither me nor my sister ever would’ve verbalized that sentiment. Dad usually did the cooking and he was ex-Army, ex-Marine and all-Irish…you get the idea. Better to eat in silence. Besides, he wasn’t a bad cook.

Don’t visit Ireland for fancy food. It’s good, but it ain’t French or Italian.

Yep, that’s how it works for pets and people. I know cause that was my parents Philosophy. You ate what was served, or waited for the next meal. Also, if you missed the meal because of your own volition, then there was always the next meal.

You don’t want to know!

How did this kid survive to make it to adulthood?!

Just for You, Michael, Fried Scorpions with Mashed Beetles & Gravy.Chocolate Covered Grasshopper for dessert…

My father was a Squid AND a Jarhead. He went into the Navy toward the end of WW2, and after he was mustered out, enlisted in the Marines for the Korean Conflict.

The answer should be “Nothing, for you, kid. You’ll be in your room while we are having dinner.”
