The end of an era



It's like saying good-bye to an old dear friend. I grew up with Michael and Liz, cried buckets over the death of Farley - a real hero (and I'm crying again just remembering him climbing to shore after saving April from the water) and celebrated milestones with the whole Patterson family.

For Better or For Worse, it is over.

Andy, now I'm crying. I think I might be hormonal as well as feeling rather sentimental.

I feel the same way :-(

I was so upset last year when I first heard Lynn was finishing up the strip. I have all of her books, most of them signed by her.

OH NO!!!!!!! I didn't realize the strip was ENDING!!! I've been without the daily paper for a week now (we had it stopped while we were on vacay) and had NO idea!!

I'm so sad!!!

I'm all verklempt. My daughter has just discovered the whole FBoW collection beginning with "David, We're Pregnant!"

Lynn Johnson has been a pretty big deal in Canada for over 20 years. Thanks for posting the last strip.

Andy, two things.... First, there was one more strip that told what happened after the "end" in the next day's paper. Second, I just saw this article:
