Lynn Johnston

'For Better of for Worse' is perhaps the most compelling English-language strip in existence today. As with 'Doonesbury,' its characters age -- usually for the better, sometimes for the worse -- but unlike 'Doonesbury,' the story lines are more personal, squarely addressing with warmth and grace and empathy everyday issues that many, if not most, western families face. What a treat, especially for those of us who came of age in the 1980s and have an affinity for the beauty and culture of Canada.

For any of you who are interested (and, without meaning to sound preachy, you should be), be sure to visit her website http://www.fborfw.com , which is nothing short of a treasure trove for FBOFW fans.
