by: Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Johnson

March 21, 1997

.If This Is a Lecture, How Long Will It Be?: A for Better or for Worse Collection

by: Lynn Franks Johnston

1990-09
These cartoons are from a Canadian daily comic strip focusing on the humour inherent in everyday family life. By turns warm, witty and insightful and only very rarely tippingover into sentimentality, I have loved this series for years & have taken much pleasure from it & comfort in it. This selection, published in 1990, shows the Patterson family and their friends dealing with the challenges of everyday life, including: Phil and Georgia buying a house, Elly going to court to contest a traffic ticket, hormones, humiliation & underage drinking at the school valentine's dance, and Gordon's unrequited love for the beautiful Allyson.
