For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 21, 2019

what is life to a person who never owned a dog? a bowl a cat food?

IN other words…‘same ole, same ole…..’

Especially when you’re grounded.

The dog food only starts out in the bowl, wait until Mike realizes where it ends up.

So, are you full or empty right now?

In the doghouse, Micheal?

In his confinement he’s settling for something only slightly more interesting than watching paint dry

Ah-ha! Mike learned his table manners from the dog!

When you are grounded, you look for your entertainment wherever you can get it.

Lynn’s Comments:

This strip was a lot of fun to do. Sometimes I had no punch line in mind at all…I just wanted to draw the dog!

Life is waiting for the next bowl of dog food.

Are you learning anything Michael from being grounded, or are you going to try being only 15 minutes late next time like you suggested several days ago?

My Dad would wake us up by his raucous version of “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries” every Sunday morning. The neighbors claimed it woke them up too!

Another of my comments flagged into nonexistence for no apparent reason. No bad language. No insults. No politics. No religion. I think the moderator has stopped looking at the comment to see if rules were broken and just deletes based on someone flagging it.
