I am a huge fan having read the strip for years - my children just a year or two behind the ages of Michael and Elizabeth. The strip was therapy and good advice too - to laugh when things are "worse" rather than "better." I'm enjoying the strip all over again but I can't help wondering how Michael and Elizabeth are doing - I miss them as adults!

Some newspapers, like my local, don't carry the Sunday strips so until my son gave me one of his old laptops and I found your site, I didn't know why you had gone back in time. I've loved your family since way back, so revisiting them brings back all those "first time" laughs or sighs all over again.

The Chicago Tribune delivered to my front yard still carries the FBoFW comic strip.However, the page is so crowded and the print so small that I have to really adjust my bifocals to read the essence correctly. I have written to the paper, also, but I want you all to know that having such a nice clear comic here on-screen is much appreciated.

I wanted to comment on the strip about the seasons. I spent 10+ years in Nairobi, Kenya and found there were also changing seasons there - just not as drastic as ours. The rains brought out all the flowering trees and the dry seasons the wonderful drying yellows. The longer we lived there the more we noticed the seasons. On the other hand, coming back to Canada I was really excited by the snow!!!

Hi, Lynne, it is great to revisit the old strips, which I was first reading when my kids were small.I am by ancestry French Canadian and Micmac on both sides,so the strip and your inclusiveness has always had deep resonance for me. I am a retired English Professor who now mostly writes Young Adult books, and I guess it is sort of a compliment when people mistake one's fiction for reality. You are wonderful and valiant. If you are ever in NM, mi casa es su casa. Thanks for many years of joy, laughter, and Oh, yeah, she really nailed THAT one spot on...

Just wanted to say, how glad I'am that I found your website again. My computor crashed last year and I was not able to get one until just recently. Anyway, I have been a big fan for years and have all of your books, had been missing your strip in the newspaper and was sad to see that you have retired. But since finding your website again, I did go out and purhase your last book and true to form it was as great as the others. I'm glad Elizabeth and Anthony finally got married, watching April grow up over the years was like watching my neice, your whole series always brought a smile/or tear to my face as I would look forward to reading it each day in the paper as well as in your books. I wish you the best in your retirement and thank you for making the world just a little more pleasant with the lives of those in "For Better or Worse".
