"For Better or For Worse" starts life over again...
|
Can't Post

Lynn Johnston's comic strip is retiring... and being re-born all in the space of two days.
On Sunday, Lynn will say good-bye to the all-grown-up Pattersons, only to say hello again on Monday when she re-visits the family in its early family life, beginning with when Michael and Lizzie were very young. According to the United Press Syndicate, Patterson, using "new comic strips drawn in the style she used 29 years ago when the Patterson family first appeared on comic pages, Johnston will begin retelling their story from the beginning, eventually blending at least half of the classic original comic strips with new material."
Just the thought of seeing Farley again after having bawled my eyes out when he "died" brings a smile to my face... it's like having a good friend back after having thought he was lost forever. He is as beloved to me and other fans as Snoopy is too Peanuts fans.
I love this comic strip. I hope people will give it a chance, despite having some newspapers drop the strip (they don't want to pay full price for "recycled" strips).
