For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 27, 2025

Reading on a holiday should be a vacation from business!

My eyesight is very poor; what is that book he picked out?

Glad John came to his senses and decided NOT to take his job on vacation!

Gotta love how the mystery novel is just called “Mystery”. :)

Lynn updated this one by changing the wastebasket to a recycle bin. But the real difference between 1996 and now should be a guy dropping a heavy solid object into a can with an audible thump immediately getting tackled by security

He threw his business reports in the recycling bin?

I like how Lynn changed the “Waste” bin in the original to a Recycle bin.

It would be a lot more interesting if the night before they had to cancel their vacation because April came down with the flu and was projectile-vomiting..

Busman’s holiday.

Good move, Jon. Now you’ll have a real holiday with Ellie.

I’m glad I convinced myself never to bring my work computer home while on vacation. It was bothersome to get back to work after having a week off to have to catch up with all the e-mails, but I was very happy to disconnect completely from work for a week. Actually, when I was working, my least favorite part of the day was turning my computer on and finding a bunch of new e-mails to sift through each morning.

Down with working vacations!

Good man, John.

I’m sure good ol’ El has other ideas…

Sitting on a lounge chair at the beach and reading, only getting up to move the chair as the sun moves. It’s a great vacation
