She's Turning Into One of Them!
by Lynn Johnston
Ah, now this is the collection where For Better or For Worse jumped the shark. It's the era when the moralizing started to started to overtake the jokes. Which is not to say that the book is totally lacking in the latter. It just makes me wonder if it's worth slogging through the sermonizing to enjoy a few chuckles. Maybe I could mark up the book so I could enjoy the strips about Weed's relationship problems, the Ned controversy and Grandpa Jim's new avocation while blipping over April's witchy friend, the Mtigwaki social study lessons and the marshmallow who has replaced Anthony.
'Tis only waiting room material.
