For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 03, 2024

And he never did.

Is this the girl he marries? I can’t remember.

sob

Clever way to put the dog’s image between the branches in the last panel.

Sniffle :,(

I really miss my old friend Farley.

It is, Michael.

Um, does Eddy come by regularly to “water” that tree??

In the last panel, Mike’s eyes and Rhetta’s eyes are wild open in fear. They know there is a ghost behind them. Run, Michael and Rhetta! Run!

That finall panel has always been one of my favorites.

Now THIS…. is what great writing/art is.

Ooga Farley!

Booga Farley!

Googa Farley!

Mooga Farley!

Someone must have flagged Lucky Black Cat’s “highly offensive” comment saying “Sweet”; because it is no longer here. Come on people!! Show some restraint with the flagging!

Lynn’s Comments: Because it was such a dramatic story, I felt I had to mention Farley’s death again. Some readers thought it was a dumb idea to insert Farley’s face into the branches of the tree here, but others really appreciated the gesture. No matter what I wrote or drew, there was always a difference of opinion!

Long retired. Have read MANY cartoons in my life. MANY of them have been very good.In my opinion, Lynn Johnston is the best of them all. Her work is well thought out and very well presented.

Must be a dogwood. Joking through the tears.

Aww, Farley. Such a good dog.

All of these comments and no one mentions Farley’s face.

Thank you Lynn (and company). This was almost more than I could stand, but so wonderful…

Listening trees.

That’s something you could write about too.

I remember a special place where two teenagers swore to always remember. 54 Years, I wonder if she remembers?

Awwwwww….

Make a moment and leave a memory. Share what’s in your heart.

The image in the tree was their dog that gave its life saving his little sister.

He is listening to you and always will!

Im not crying you’re crying

The trees are always listening, sometimes they even talk, If you listen! ;-)

“Where’s Waldo?” for dogs

Today’s got me emotional!

Really, only 1 person commented on seeing Farleys face in the tree?Like the old art picture, is it a vase or an old lady’s face.
