For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 26, 2018

I notice that the light blue bottle simply reads “God”.

Why play God, Elly? Let nature do its thing!

Oh, boy.

I gave up years ago, and now I get carded when I ask for my senior’s discount. Go figure?! :D

Which set of cheeks is sagging, Elly?

Me to,, Ellie! Since I’m a guy, I’m working out about 2 hours a day. If Father Time wanders thru my neighborhood, I plan to hit him with something.

Better life through Chemistry???

That’s the spirit! ;-)

New hairstyle, updated wardrobe and makeup…and a smile. You’ll look terrific.

Time & gravity. It’s gettin’ us all.

I’m all for aging gracefully and don’t believe in fighting it; I don’t even color my hair. That said, at 53 I have almost no lines around my eyes. Everyone in my family looks younger than they are (you should see my 66-year-old sister; she doesn’t even look 50).

People get older. It happens. Just take care of your health.

I think the best way to avoid looking old is too die young.

I agree, Elly. I’m 57, and I’m NOT growing old gracefully — I’m fighting it kicking and screaming!

Elly…right on, right on!

Time to shorten your hair.

I think we should all try and look our best,but not obsess over it.After all,it’s everyone else who have to look at us most of the time.

Beauty products for Elly. Lynn Johnston, on the hand, being a multimillionaire went for the wonderful world of plastic surgery.

I love when ladies stop coloring their hair.Emmylou Harris a fine example :)

Timely comic today. I just sent in my order for several Estee Lauder skin care products I like. I find Avon every bit as good and less expensive, but when I have a few extra dollars, I like to go to the Estee Lauder counter and splurge.

I’m 80 and I look 50, It’s all in how you dress, wear your hair and most of all attitude

I earned every grey(white) hair on my head and beard. The lines on my face are happy lines. If I no longer sport that buff physique, so what ? I’m now built for comfort, not for speed.

At 73, I embrace my “_tercera edad_” ( Senior ) status.

Still, I must admit I’m flattered, when I constantly have to prove to the bus drivers that I’m over 65, and deserve my 50% discount on bus fares.

Lynn should have inserted the word “costly” before the word “fight” in the last panel – but maybe that’s immaterial to her, her husband won’t say anything! That’s one of the FIRST things we men learn – "Do NOT remark on the cost of a wife’s “warpaint” when she is preparing to do battle with ‘Father Time’! Never! Ever! We men have the power of ‘self delusionment’ when we gaze in the mirror – women DO NOT HAVE that particular ‘superpower’, so beware!

I am a man with a gray beard and a receding hairline. I wear trifocals and hearing aids. I’m overweight and will be 74 next month and people still say I look to be in my early 60’! GO FIGURE!

Just remember: Many a good tune’s been played on an old fiddle ! ( It just depends on how ye rosin the bow. )

I will never look old compared to my driver’s license photo. It shows me three days after I died in an open field in the summer.
