Our First Hybrid Sequence Concludes

After months of speculation about what a hybrid would be like for the comic strip For Better or For Worse, the first sequence concluded, taking up the whole month of September. If I may summarize: Mike starts off looking at photographs with his daughter. He starts off telling Meredith about how his parents met and married and then launched into a discussion about a trip he took to Vancouver utilizing reprint strips. What Meredith takes out of it, is that it is permissible to throw a stuffed teddy bear whenever and wherever she pleases, so long as the teddy bear has a napkin tied around his neck and she does the patented yell. Which is the same lesson Mike got when he was little.

I presume we are going to launch into the Anthony and Elizabeth romance next week, but who know? Maybe it's more hybrid. I got the impression from the press releases, that Mike and Merrie were the hybrid narrators, but today's strip seemed to conclude that sequence. I wonder if Lynn Johnston plans for Mike and Merrie to return to the photo albums for another sequence, or if she plans to introduce completely different characters for another photo album journey into reprints. I suppose we find out the answers to these questions eventually.
