Product Description

"Lynn Johnston is cartooning's reigning master at combining gags with continuity. Her ongoing story of the Patterson family has been one of the most beloved strips for years." --Atlanta Constitution

Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse is the world's most popular family strip in which characters have evolved through age and experience, rather than remaining frozen in time.

In Home Sweat Home, moves are afoot aplenty. John and Elly downsize to a new home and Mike and Deanna buy the family homestead to raise their children as a new generation fills the Patterson legacy. Romantic moves abound, too, as Elizabeth has her heart broken only to have it won back by Anthony. April turns sixteen and will soon by driving--which is driving her parents crazy.

• In September 2007, Johnston made an unprecedented move for a cartoonist; she introduced a new format by using current plot lines as a jumping-off point to revisit past storylines that complement the new ones.

Customer Reviews

Another winner
I have read and reread all of Lynn's books and this newest addition is another great collection.

This book, more than most shows the major changes that this family has gone through over the years. At times, I still find the portrayal of Mike's kids to be a little too 'syrupy' but otherwise this book is great.

I think we have seen the end of an era.

Another great collection.
I have followed "FBOFW" for many years. Was even pregnant at the same time that Elly was "pregnant" with April. Lynn Johnston captures the ups and downs of family life like no one else. Very enjoyable read!

Excellent as always
I loved this latest For Better or Worse. I've followed the adventures of Ellie, John, and the kids for years. Reading about Elizabeth's romantic adventures and her grandfather's trial and tribulations are compelling.

Watching Michael and his family grow and thrive is cool too, as is watching April's story too. I'd have liked to see a little more about Ellie and John, but that's not really a complaint. Just a suggestion.

For Better or Worse is as always funny, heart-warming, and sometimes a little sad.
