For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 28, 2019

the cheerleaders might as well as add a W, an I, a T, and an S after that T if they’re noticing Michael and Gordon ogling them

Lawrence is probably trying to figure out why they’d want to watch cheerleaders.

I’d walk home for that.

Gotta support the squad!

That makes a lot more sense than watching and adoring a bunch of guys throwing/catching a ball!!!

Smart kids.

Obviously this was drawn before toxic masculinity was invented.

I have no problem with where his interest is.

A is for apple J is for Jacks cinnamon toasty Apple Jacks!

I remember in school, no one was allowed to watch our cheerleaders practice just to prevent this scene. They called it a “closed practice”.

Lynn’s Notes:

We don’t seem to put as much emphasis on cheerleading here in Canada as they do in the States, but still, it’s a significant part of a team’s morale and often a show of amazing talent.

He’s there for the hubba hubba

Face it, sometimes your high school football games were so bad that all you could do was watch the cheer leaders and fantasize about a victory after the game.

I can’t remember HS cheerleaders ever wearing as little as that! Tshirts over underwear.

Coach to cheerleaders at LGS in 1951: Use the appropriate cheer! Don’t do the “Our team is red hot!” one when we’re 10 points behind!!

Something tells me if Gordon was talking about a church youth club or a Boy Scout troop, Michael probably would not be very interested in what Gordon has to say.

As they say ( and all too true – youth is wasted on the young"…You were never young?…..

Mike is growing up.
