For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 02, 2023

Liz just needs the words. Actions aren’t always loud enough.

Maybe you need better glasses Elizabeth

Neon, huh?

to be loved, better watch your shape and leave those burgers Liz

Try as we might. We humans have yet to develop telepathy.

Strange. If Anthony gets better English marks than she does, then why doesn’t he lend the girl he loves HIS English notes? Wouldn’t he want to help her look good in class?

Anthony… “Creepy-Crawly”…

I read this to my 17-year-old daughter. She said, “Girls can ALWAYS tell when a guy likes her FRIENDS…when it’s herself…not so much!” (posted with permission)

Liz’s burger flipped upside down.

Love the Canadian slang…

Neon signs are good, but a better sign would be a diamond ring

“Say ‘I Love You’ with a neon sign. Anything to make you mine.” – This Time I Know It’s For Real by Donna Summer.

You’ve been told, Liz.

Everybody sees it but Lizz.Time for new glasses

I love thee more than any earthly creature…I love thee dear

Girls never make it easy for boys.. and can leave permanent scars.

At least her friends aren’t blind.

Always unnoticed by the object of affection…

Anthony wake up or lose!

Go for it, Lizzy!!! The more of his infatuation we see, the more attractive he becomes. <3

Elizabeth? More like Duh-lizabeth!

“Say ‘I Love You’ with a neon sign, anything to make you mine…”

Plain yellow for NEON? I think that is a colourist fail.

C’mon girl, wake up…

Neon rearranged – none…

This strip was written in 1994. Elizabeth would not have noticed a neon sign if even it was flashing on and off:

O.J. DID IT

O.J. DID IT

O.J. DID IT

But neon has no chemistry—it’s inert!

She says ‘Hey T-bone, what’s your sign?’

I blink and answer ‘Neon" I thought I’d blow her mind.
