For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 05, 2024

Well. Get ready to suddenly feel colder, Mike. You said it…right time, right place.

Mike, DUCK!

The last frame reminds me of a very early strip where an off-screen Elly threw her coffee mug at the back of oblivious John’s head after he made some snarky comment.

Anyone else remember?

Another brainstorm coming, Mike!

Does that snowball have a rock in it?

Reminds me of when I was a teen. I was on a football field, and I asked my friend if he ever got hit with a football in the face. He said yes, and I said it had happed to me also. Well this guy next to us burst out laughing and said we were idiots. Yeah you guess it :) !

When reporters USED to find a story and go out to hunt down the facts, and implications, that was true. Now we have too many talking heads in the MSM reading the propaganda the government gives them to spew.

Luck only lasts so long!

Beware of the Splurt!

Thinking I worked better under pressure was a mistake.

When you’re a young, aspiring journalist, the time for experience is golden. There’s so much to write and experience and many CNN, MSNBC, etc. reporters will give their take on theirs if anyone ever asks them.

Sometimes something just hits you.

Yeah, but is it good enough to publish in the school paper?

Hey Mike, there’s another story incoming. :-P

And sometimes you have Brain Freeze.

Dr. John the night tripper said it best “I was in the right place but it was the wrong time!”

wither we like it or not.

Well there’s a word you don’t see often in this comic strip. “Ms.”

Absolutely

Ooh, he’s gonna get hit with a snowball! Exciting!

I think I’ll skip this week. No fan of Mikes college’s college days – or the change in his personal grooming habits.

And Mike saw potential in a character everybody else ignored.

The key is “situational awareness”.

And sometimes you are not!

I want the bunny rabbit!!

“Interview with the janitor” was a rejected Anne Rice novel. Just sayin’

Is Calvin making an appearance in this strip…. ’Snowball… Incoming !"

Don’t let it go to your head, Mike.

Really. Lois was so jealous of Clark getting all those stories about Superman until he told her.
