DAMMIT!

I don't like the cartoon. The voices aren't what I pictured, and it ruins it for me. Like Dilbert.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Dammit, I loved that strip. Now I'm gonna be stuck with Get Fuzzy as the only strip left I can stand.

 

I believe Gene Weingarten predicted this. The constraints on the content of the comic strip were too much, I bet.

 

And only a few more months of For Better Or Worse, our window into Canada's soul. I heard April gets pregnant and drops out of Grade 9.

 

But we'll still have the hellspawn trio of Hi & Lois, Hagar the Horrible and Beetle Bailey, plus Family Circus.

 

How has 'For Better or Worse' last so long?
And I don't care what anybody says, I'm down with 'Hagar.'

 

For Better Or For Worse (at least, I think that's the right title) kicks ass. Except when it focuses on the fogies, and even that can be amusing at times.

I did work at a paper where once the strip introduced the gay character, the strip went bye-bye, never to return.

 

Oh my God, April is already in high school???

 

C'mon now, how can you ever be mad at a comic strip that gives you this:

 

R.I.P.

 

That dog death pissed off a lot of people.
