For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 14, 2024

“Women’s Biff”? (well what’re you lookin at butthead??)

Do not going to lie, while it’s time that Mike moves out (I will stand by this), I also blame Mike for giving his key to a stranger. Dormie or not

Forsooth!! He changed his tone …… quickly!!!!

;-)

Very well measured use of intimidation, Michael! Got Jillings down to two syllable words (would have been harder to understand that info from him with one syllable words).

I so love this little sequence – it’s just so much fun the way the chap goes into Olde English style.

What is “Women’s BFF”??

Biffy slang for “restroom”

OMG that’s one angry canadian…

Purloined portal? LOL!

Good call for thy nose be in Mortal Peril.

My great grandfather called it that. It’s the bathroom.

Somebody should warn the guy in the foreground of the second panel that Venom is crawling up his back. I hope Spiderman is nearby.

I “hate” people who can’t take a joke. He needs anger management

Daytime, joke. Sleeping, not joke.

Mike goes Medieval on this wannabe larp.

I think this guy is an English major by the jargon he’s spouting in shakespearean speak.

I had a similar experience as an RAF cadet in the 60s. It was a bed, not a door (we were in dorms); it wasn’t even my bed!

YEESH! Calm down, man! It’s just a harmless joke! Geez, what happened to your sense of humor?

how long has that guy been in school? He looks like he’s in his 40’s

Get him, Mike!

your weird set of words is what gave you away ya weirdo.

Michael’s response – “Then get your smart @ss up there, get it, and put it back on!”

I don’t recall seeing this guy Jillings before.

There are times when forceful negotiations are called for to achieve the necessary results.

Amazing what a little persuasion can do!

For whatever reason, Mike has strong suspicions.

This prankster is lucky that he can loaf around and be a go-nowhere. I will be unemployed on January 21st.

Forsooth, Mister Mustache hath a lance through his posterior

Like good Canadians, they will settle this dispute by gifting each other bottles of maple syrup

Loutish diction indeed. I can’t remember the last time Mike needed to be bleeped.

Best way to deal with a smart aleck ! ;-)

It all hinges on Jillings.

I like the way all the Pattersons have the same facial expression when they are angry. I don’t know if April has developed that yet.

Mike can tell that Jillings was practicing that bit all night.

Verily, the artful play of words here doth much delight and greatly please me! Methinks, perchance, did Lynn employ a lexicon or thesaurus to conjure such clever and inventive phrases? I, e’en I myself, did make use of ChatGPT.

Mike has one nerve left, and that fool is standing on it

I’d take him apart, hinge by hinge.

The literary nerd huh.
