Robin and the Dogs Eat Alike

The best thing about today’s For Better or For Worse was that it worked very well with an ongoing April’s Real Blog subplot having to do with Deanna chaperoning April and Gerald on a date. That made the strip where April forgot she has done baby-sitting jobs for the last 4 years, and Robin forgot how to talk, go by a lot easier. At least the dogs were in character, and we are seeing some interaction between the Michael family and the Elly family.

The second best thing was that it switched the focus off the impending Liz / Mtigwaki disaster long enough for me to put up a Constable Paul Wright post, explaining his perspective as it will stand until Elizabeth arrives in Mtigwaki.

Tomorrow’s strip: Any thought that Warren was not still interested in Liz is flying out that helicopter window

I really hate the final-panel wistful-thought device. It was bad enough when it was seemingly limited to Anthony. I really did not need to see Warren doing it!

The old Warren strips used to have Warren with thought balloons looking at Liz on the bus rides or in the first helicopter ride, but they were not Anthony-esque, i.e. filled with regret he was not dating Liz. Having Warren do it puts him on an even footing with Anthony, which reduces my opinion of him, but in the mind of Lynn Johnston, may actually be an attempt to elevate our opinion of Warren.
