Q and Eh! Questions and answers about the Canadian Comic Strip For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston

Q and Eh

Hi! I have a majority of the For Better or for Worse comic books and was wondering if all the strips appeared in the paper or if only certain ones have?

Hi, Will you release your book in an electronic format? I would really love to read your books on my iPad and having the ability to purchase them and have them with me would be wonderful.

Is there a desktop calendar available for 2010?

Are there any plans for a chronological hardcover collection of the entire FBoFW series similar to what is being done with Peanuts, Dennis the Menace, etc. ?

I've seen a book titled "You can play in the barn but don't get dirty" by Lynn Johnston. Is this one of your books? I don't see it on your list of books.

Are any of your books available in Hebrew or Arabic?

Is there a list of your books in the order they were published? I lived in Europe for six years, and I think I may have missed some. And I'm not sure of the order for the ones I have.

I was wondering if there are any plans for a childrens book in the future? Not a strip collection but a story book?

I was just wondering if it is possible to get a list of all the For Better or For Worse books in their chronological order, as I'm trying to read them so.

When is your next collection book coming out? I am so used to getting a new book in Sept. that this year has left a void in my reading. Thank you for the many years of FBorFW

I was suggesting you put my thoughts about the lives of the Pattersons after Liz's wedding(in where you ended the strip during that time) into a new book with new strips that show about April's future career, Jims death, and Liz and Anthony's kids, and Mike and Deanna's kids growing up. That would really make me happy.

Was the show about the Christmas Angel and The Good For Nothing part of the series or separate holiday specials?

I understand that there is going to be a stuffed Farley doll available to buy. Are there going to be any other Patterson Pets offered for the same purpose? I would be interested in buying a stuffed Shiimsa doll, for example. Thanks!

I know Lynn did cartoons while pregnant with her son, which eventually launched her career in FBOFW. I would like to know how to get a copy of these cartoons. I cannot find them in any bookstore.

I had a book, many moons ago, when I had my first child (who is now 23.) I think you wrote it. It was about having a baby, and was so funny. Do you remember which one, and how would I go about getting another copy? I lent it to someone, and it is long gone.

Have you considered creating an annotated bibliography in which the major story arcs would be listed along with the title of their individual collections (or at least the year of publication)for those of us who would like to revisit them easily?

I would like to read the strip sequentially from the beginning. Is there a source for that...a sequential list of books or something similar?

Is there any way I can get reprints of the strips concerning Jim and his stroke? Or, better yet, have you considered compiling these strips in a book?

Is Mike's book real?

Will you be releasing any of the Christmas specials or other specials on DVD that are now available on VHS?

In a 1999 interview for The Comics Journal, Lynn reluctantly mentions, a biography of her that was being put together by Scribner. Did that ever come to pass? If not, will it?

It seems as thought the collections that are published are not totally complete - there are some strips that I know I saw in the papers missing from the collections, including some of my favourites. Is there any way of getting the complete collection?

Where can I get videos of the animated specials?

How can I see the animated series that ran on Teletoon in Canada?

Does FBorFW sell items on eBay?

Are Tonner dolls still available?

Can I get an autograph?

How can I get original art?

What is The Bestest Present?

Where can I get "out of print" books?

How many videos are there?

How many books has Lynn published?

Is there a bibliography?

Why was there no collection book in 2004?
