Never Wink at a Worried Woman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What hasn't already been said about For Better or For Worse- it's all true. Not many cartoons can stand up to these.
Who could not relate the the Pattersons

First I'm prejudice. There has never been a "For Better/For Worst" book that I have not liked. With that said, this was most enjoyable. Seeing Jim and El start really thinking of retirement and the kids growing up.
Good

This book... I can't say it any rates. I collect ALL of books that Lynn Johnston writes. :)
The latest compilation of "For Better or For Worse" newspaper comic strips
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Never Wink at a Worried Woman is the latest compilation of "For Better or For Worse" newspaper comic strips, following the daily life of the Patterson family - parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and friends. Unlike the majority of comic strips, in which the family (and its children!) never age and remain bizarrely the same from year to year, "For Better or For Worse" embraces the realism of advancing years and the toll that changes in the seasons have on life. In Never Wink at a Worried Woman, Elly and John are carefully beginning to think about retirement, while Elizabeth approaches adulthood, Micheal and Deanna try to balance the demands of being new parents, and baby Meredith is bursting with curiosity about the world around her while Grandpa Jim strives to maintain his dignity despite the toll of age. The warm, soulful humor of the comic retains a fresh, empathic charm, all needed more desperately than ever in today's era of sarcasm, shallowness and sound bites. Highly recommended.
Another winner

This treasury by Lynn Johnston is another winner. Taking a very close look at the children this time around, the comic strips are a pure joy. Buy this one and enjoy.
