For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 08, 2021

Way to think things through.

As Gordon describes what a horrible evening is ahead of her, Tracey shrinks in each panel. Great symbolism in this one.

Indeed, Gordon. You owe to your positive thinking for carrying you so well into adulthood.

Actually, Gordon will prove to be VERY incredible.

In fact, his will be the typical “American success story”—even though he’s Canadian.

Stop wishing for what you’ll never have Gordon

That’s not a compliment, Gordon.

Hey young dudes. When you are taking a girl out on a first date saying, “You don’t have to stay with me, you don’t have to dance with me, and if you get a better offer you can go home with another guy.” is not the most smartest thing to say! And don’t talk about thinking about seeing another woman there! However, in this case, Spoiler Alert, the fourth panel seems to hint that this works for Gordon.

So on the plus side, or is it the puss side, Mike can stay home and do his homework.

Gordo is really a good friend♡.

Panel 1: It looks like they’re both in shock.

Panel 4: Yes, Gordon, you certainly are “incredible”… Otherwise, does Canada have a permanent tilt of 10 degrees to the left?

Hafta hafta hafta hafta an’ an’ an’ an’ hafta an’…. Hafta?

I think he misunderstood “incredible”.

Positive for others. It may seem sad, but there is a surprising amount of satisfaction in seeing other people get what they want. …and, sometimes, get what they deserve.

Good kid, good friend, becoming a good man : )

Pessimists are never disappointed.

Gordon is a teen boy with an old man’s soul.

Oh Gordo you silver-tongued Devil you. ;o}

Watch out Mike…..

Sounds like he will leave early, already decided he won’t have a good time

they are so adorable hahaha :)

Funny how life goes. So often the person you had a mad crush on in high school turns out to be a short lived event. The more we mature the more our idea of what we desire in a person changes dramatically.

Such u nbridled passion.Such a beautiful chariot.Such a modest beginning.

Ahh, here it comes…

Way to talk sweet to your future wife.

I wore formal wear to both the junior and senior proms. Gordon isn’t even wearing a dress shirt and tie.

Hard to imagine a teenage boy talking to a teenage girl like this.

The beginnings of a lifetime…
