For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 13, 2021

Well, you two, do something than just waste time.

I just realized that she dressed as casually as he did. Well, except for the cap.

Tracey: Well Gordon, since you’ve stood with your hands in your pockets ever since you picked me up at the door, I would imagine you’d prefer the non-touching section.

If I were you I would try out the holding section

They don’t seem to be having much fun either of them.

Better yet, just drive to a quiet spot, and…

At least, tomorrow you could tell Michael that you didn’t have a good time—not at the party, at least. ;-)

Why not try the “touching” section and take it slow. Gotta start somewhere, you know.;D

Nice of Gordo to ask.

“If you can’t be with the one you love…”

Gordon has an inexhaustible supply of schlubby ball-caps..

Lets start with the non-smooching section and see where we end up. Life’s an adventure, but we don’t have to jump off the biggest cliff first.

To touch or not to touch, that is the question.

Last year my daughter went to her senior prom with her 2 best girl-friends. They were lucky to have it because of Covid. It was held outdoors, under a tarp, and there were no slow songs played. My daughter loved it. She danced with her friends – male and female – and didn’t have the awkwardness of not having a date.

How I wish that option was available when I was in high school 1972-75. Not fun to stay home b/c you haven’t been asked. I don’t worry about it, though. I know now it was their loss. Above and beyond that foolishness!

Too awkward to touch so best non-touching dance.

What a gentleman…..

I am so hoping they go for the touching section! Either way,these two deserve some feel good.I totally loved school dances.We had dances at the school or at the armory almost every weekend during the school year and it was always live bands, local kids, garage bands and they were great! This was junior high and high school back in the 60’s. What a great time to be a kid.I have always felt sorry for the kids today who do not have this life.Canned music and a DJ, good but, just not the same.

Watch and wait. It gets better and better.

Having proved to be absolute equals in social awkwardness,Gord and Tracey will soon live happily(and busily) ever after.

When I was 16, I was all about touching girls.

Has anyone seen Martha?

Gordon brings back all the insecurities anxieties of that time in life.

I think their story is one of my favorites :)

I do wish he’d lose that hat – for good.

Dude, take off the hat.

oh, I don’t know…but he may be touching still…
