For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 10, 2025

In this comic strip, if you see both the top and the bottom teeth, then you are evil.

Remember, your favorite word is “NO!”

RUN!

Nothing to keep them from getting up and getting out.

A welcome lunch? Were John and Elly that naive, to believe that is what it was?

I had a feeling this was coming

Used car salesmen are absolute saints compared to timeshare sales people..

What a sleezy guy! :P

From Lynn’s Comments: Just reading this again gives me heartburn.

Now is when you stand up and walk out. No explanation necessary!

Blech! There goes my appetite. I’m out of here. Byeeeee!

RUN!!!!!!!!

have to get the number of the guy on the radio

My understanding is that the only thing worse is HOA’s…ugh…

Get up and leave.

Looks like he should be selling used cars…

That’s a well-drawn, stereotypical salesman right there!

No, welcome to your biggest nightmare.

This has given me a case of the ‘icks’ already.

Saw that one coming , No such thing as a free lunch !

I have been to that type of lunch and will never do that again!

Just say “Buh Bye”,eh…

Time to get up and leave.

RUN AWAY!!!

OMG don’t get caught in that nightmare!

Run, do not walk, away from this shyster!

RUN don’t walk away from this encounter. The Wesley Financial Group probably doesn’t work in Mexico.

Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit!

can this guy get any creepier… wait, lets fix what we already have. ;)

This confirms that old adage “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” You have to “pay” for you’re meal with a sale’s pitch.

I think Lynn tried to make him look like a shark.

Wash his mouth out with sewage!!!

Time for John to share his fist with this creep’s face.

There is Nothing to share but your deep pocket…

I knew it!

My wife signed us up for a three day stay at a nice place near a near city and I warned her it was a time share and that, looking at the “offer’s” teeny, tiny, weeny, weaselly legalese we would have to endure a “tour” of the facility and a “90 minute discussion”.

So we agreed to go with the agreement that we were NOT buying. I was tempted to start listing all kinds of debts and bankruptcies and lack of money, but we were just kind of as quiet and silent as possible. I kept expecting them to pull in a manager or director but being a relatively large hotel chain you would recognize, they kept the gloves on.

I’m sure there are people who are professional time share offering experts who can sit thru a grilling with a smile and a laugh, but I buy my vehicles at CarMax for a reason.

I love this strip too much to skip it even a day, but this story line is making me ill. I suppose it will run all week. Yuck.

Just say NO!

This is a cheap shot as far as any tourism goes! I feel very sorry for any visitors coming into a new country with these "scallywags " hanging around for any opportunity to cash in on them.

Why wouldn’t the Pattersons expect a free lunch? They already get free education and free healthcare.

“I’m very interested in hearing your presentation, but would you mind waiting for just a second?”

(flies back to Toronto, goes home, calls the Enjos, tells them to send Elizabeth over, scolds her for chewing loudly, chews loudly, sends Elizabeth back to the Enjos’ house, returns to Mexico, takes her seat at the table)

“All right, you were saying?”

I knew some folks who had timeshares and they “seemed” to like the idea.

Were they trying to fool me?

Were they fooling themselves?

Why are there companies that their sole business is to help you to get out of your timeshare?

Sounds like needing a lawyer to get out of prison early….

8^)

Hey,Blair—-may I call you “Dishonest John”?

I knew it. smh…

Even if you get a time share,wouldn’t it be boring going back to the same place every summer?

Ach, this is gonna be painful, what a waste of paradise ! :-0
