The For Better or For Worse saga comes to an end in this final volume that finishes collecting Lynn Johnston’s comic strip masterpiece. A fire at Michael and Deanna’s apartment building leaves their family without a place to stay, but this coincides with John’s retirement and desire to downsize their house. April takes one last summer trip to the farm and gets a job at a veterinarian clinic. And finally, the entire cast comes together for the wedding of Elizabeth and Anthony.
This volume collects every strip from July 20, 2006, to the series’ conclusion on August 30, 2008, plus all of the new strips created for the second run in newspapers!
For Better or For Worse® made its debut in the newspapers on September 9th, 1979 with this Sunday strip:
The next day, the first-ever daily strip came out—Lynn had no way of knowing that she would continue writing and drawing FBorFW® until August of 2008!
That’s more than ten thousand comic strips over 29 years!
At its peak, For Better or For Worse® appeared in more than 2,000 newspapers in 23 countries, and was translated into 8 languages for a devoted readership of more than 220 million people.
In September of 2008, thanks to Andrews McMeel Syndication—and the enthusiasm of longtime fans—FBorFW® started being republished, beginning with the first strips from 1979. It continues to run in repeats on our website and in newspapers all over North America.
