Blogging about a comic
Yes, I am blogging about a comic strip. I read For Better or For Worse. It's on my favorites menu and I read it just about every day.
Right now I am pissed that Elizabeth is going to get together with Anthony.
This bugs me for two reasons.
One is that she should grow up. Why the hell did she have to move back home anyhow? Why couldn't she stay up north like a big girl. Besides Anthony was her high school boyfriend and a total drip. If she gets together with him, she is just a drip as well.
The other is that it is just a comic that has become a soap opera and I cannot believe how upset I was when I read today's comic. How useless is that?

*head tilt* People actually think about comic strips for more than 30 seconds?
I haven't really read that one since Elizabeth lived at home the first time.
Not usually and I hope not normal people, but I care about the characters.
Boo, don't bother reading it.
Well, actually the Grandad with the stroke is a pretty sweet story. You can read that one.
OMG! Bob I read it too! I don't want to get rid of our paper cause I want to see what happens. Pretty lame. Can I read it online you say?
I always like that strip because the characters grow, age and die. But agree about Anthony. You know they will end up together. I hated it when she had 3 guys after her.

Zombs, it wouldn't be so bad if her older brother hadn't also married his school sweetheart and her younger sister (at 16) seems to have been dating a guy for 4 years.
It's like she never really grew up.
Also, the strip will end this year, so they will be stuck together.
It's so cute you have a surrogate family while Mr. Bob is gone.
I haven't read that in years! But I totally laughed out loud when I read your reaction. I had to stop reading comics because I got too involved.
I read that one occasionally, but I guess it's been too long because lately, I don't even recognize the characters. I think April was a little baby when I first started reading. Is that the 16 year old sister?
I didn't realize it was ending this year. Are the parents going to die or something?
Everyone dies in a horrific explosion!
No, they will just freeze time and run old strips in the form of people looking through photo albums.
There may be new strips on occasion, but no-one will age anymore.
It actually replaced Dagwood in the DAW spot in our comic page. So it's not like I couldn't have read it all these years, I just stopped for some reason.
How can you not read it then Boo?
Bob <--- reads the back of cereal boxes.
I did not read the years that she was with Anthony but I have read the last 3 or 4 years religiously.
Warren is a complete tool. Why don't you guys like Anthony? As soon as Anthony got divorced, I knew he was going to end up with Elizabeth. I just didn't know how she'd get rid of Paul.
What is the other strip that has you upset?
It's just FBOFW that has me upset. I think the whole childhood sweetheart romance has been done and I think it's time Elizabeth put on her big girl panties and got het het own life more than 5 blocks away from home with her loser high school boyfriend.
Bob <--- does NOT want anyone mentioning she married her high school boyfriend.
There's a thread on my baby names board about FBOFW that is totally cracking me up. There is a great deal of railing against Liz and Anthony.
Arg! That's what I get when I don't read all the way through!
Bob is a loser who married her high-school boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob married her high school BF and she's going on about Elizabeth? Yeesh. the nerve!
She should have held out for something better. I hear her toaster oven is pretty understanding, a great listener, and a homebody!
I love "For Better or Worse." I rememer when April was born! I remember when Michael got married!I always wanted "Lizardbreath" to get back together with Anthony. *runs to get today's paper to read today's comic*
Puffy, First the ducks and now this?
I..I..I don't think I know you anymore.
After reading July 5th's comic, I can give Elizabeth a break. She did have a couple of other relationships before she got back with Anthony. And of course, he did, too. So it's not like they never dated anyone else.
"they will just freeze time and run old strips in the form of people looking through photo albums."
Is that what they are going to do? This is news to me. I thought the strip would just go bye-bye. Of course, my paper is still running old Peanuts strips.
Anthony gave a bad name to dorks. I think she could do better too. The whole strip has become so incestful. I hate the idea that son bought the old family house and his folks moved down the street. How lame!
My favorite story was when the first sheepdog died saving April from drowning. I was so upset by that! The poor dog!
Swami <--- only vaguely recalls her hs sweetheart but remembers his lovely yellow lab Loki very well, lol.
Bob is still hating FBOFW
HATE!
Bob, I am most definitely Pro Elizabeth and Anthony. I'm very happy they are together. However I did not know they strip was ending this year. This upsets me greatly. Probably as much as you are upset about Elizanthony. *snort*
Ooooo! Does anyone Brad and Toni will finally get together on Luann?
