For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 22, 2023

Wow! April supervised! How did THAT happen?!?

So THAT is why water’s running low these days! April and Sera started the whole thing! /s

Interesting cartoon physics here. On 19th April, El and Connie were the same height. Here, in panel 1, Elly looks to be a few inches taller than Connie while April comes up to about Elly’s hips. Whereas in panel 4, Connie is taller than Elly and April and the dog have undergone a giant growth spurt because April is as tall as Elly’s shoulders!

This reminds me of one time when a friend came over with their young son (about 3 or 4 years old). The son was sitting, nicely patting our 16-pound cat, Mitch, but looking a little bored. I got down on the floor with them, turned to the son & said, “You wanna have some fun?” and showed him how to “wrastle” with Mitch. Mitch was big, strong, and loved to wrastle (& knows not to use claws). The 2 of them spent the rest of the afternoon happily wrastling".

Time for the kids’ baths

You know, as useful as fur is, I wonder why we naked monkeys evolved out of it.

Why have a dog if you have to keep it locked in a cage outside, I know it’s only a comic strip but still.

Kind of a lame last panel.

“Why must people pay water bills in a world that is 2/3 water?” -Martin Luther King

Where did Elizabeth disappear to?

Previously having that kind of energy is why you now have kids.

So Elly, if you had that kind of energy at your current age, you would feel compelled to play in the dirt?

If Elly had that energy the world would be a lot louder.

Love the expressions in the last panel.
