For Better or For Worse

The strip finally ended earlier this year. That aside, I loved how everyone grew up in this strip in real-time. It was a very nice, simple, story. I also like how Lynn is redoing her original strips. It should be an interesting read. This is one series I would like to collect someday in full, especially the earlier ones. I started reading FBoFW in about '87 after learning how to read by myself fully. I loved how one of the main characters was my age and all that. I guess I felt I could relate to them since I grew up along with them. It's like a soap opera, only not annoying.

Also i loved the drama and life unexpectancies, like when the Grandfather could no longer talk but could only think. and i just learned that their original dog died, so the puppy took its place.

My grandmother's aunt had a stroke, and was like the grandfather in the strip. She couldn't really talk as much anymore and communicated by gestures and such. For instance, when she saw me one time, she smiled and did this hand gesture indicating height. She had her hand low, then raised it high. She hadn't seen me in many years, so she was going on about how much I'd grown. It was sad seeing her like that, since she was all energetic and such when I'd last seen her. She passed away a long time ago. Early 2000s.
