Loved finally reading the beginning of the story after reading the sunday comics for years. I've also read some of the shorter books but I've rarely gotten to read anything from when Michael was a kid.
I loved how this collection was laid out and the little notes from Lynn and I can't wait to get the whole collection.

I’ve loved For Better or For Worse since I was a kid, since before I could understand most of the gags. It’s the 3rd time I read these comic strips chronologically. Reading it now, in my early 30s, it hits differently. I feel for Elly when John’s comes home from work and wonders what she’s done all day or doesn’t help her clean up after dinner because he’s worked all day. Many things have changed in 40 years. Especially within the family dynamic.
I’m glad to see these characters evolve and grow up as time goes by, seeing some changes in family love and values.
I still love the Patterson’s and Farley (can’t forget Farley)!!!

For Better or Worse was my least favorite comic to read in the Sunday morning paper as a kid. However, I thought maybe the subject matter was above my head and I thought I'd give the first volume a try. Sad to say I'm still not a fan. Garfield will forever be my favorite comic!
I received this book from the Goodreads Giveaway program.
What a delightful collection! Not only are there many of the strips but also the story behind those strips. I enjoyed the memories of following "For Better or For Worse" which help me laugh while raising my children.
