For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 19, 2025

So what did they do about the time share offer?

The lady from Nassau (?) saw Elly and John together singing and dancing and is probably thinking, “I was going to buy a timeshare, but after seeing these two, I decided against it.”

Nothing better to do than glare at people you don’t know Karen?

Gee, is Elly actually having FUN?? Who would have guessed?

OOO…John cupped her right butt.

Macarena : chanson de Los del Río ‧ 1993

Macarena… yep this is 1996. It’s one of those things that point directly to time.

Great Aunt Eleanor does NOT approve..

Strip must be updated. I don’t think The Macarena was a thing back then.

They’re the Philpots, from Piscataway, New Jersey.

Looks like somebody does.

It’s so great to see them cutting loose and having fun.

Lynn, fixed the dialog in the last two panels for you.

“Well, there’s one great thing about going a long way from home for a holiday El….”

‘Now we can act like Americans’

After yesterday’s check-in with April and Becky’s evolving relationship, thought maybe there’d be a check-in on Liz and Dawn.

That older lady appears to be judging the two of you.

Think that old lady knows you.

Also Macarena? Are you serious?

Did John grab Ellie’s butt in panel 3? lol

I think Elly would be much more mortified than John if anyone recognized them when they were enjoying themselves with a few drinks, dancing, and singing.

These days virtually everything is disseminated on social media.

I don’t remember the Macarena as being that vigorous a dance

We get many Canadians down here at Pensacola Beach and they do like to let their hair down.

Something doesn’t add up here. On Lynn’s website comment she said that they bought the timeshare while staying at the hotel in Cabo San Lucas which is in Baja California, Mexico.

Yet the older lady that recognizes them is carrying a Nassau travel bag. Nassau is in the Bahamas. That’s near Florida.

Okay—-now let’s try the local “hot sauce”-we ARE in Mexico.

If this is the 1990s, will be interested to see this one:

TV News: O.J. Simpson was acquitted today on charges of a double homicide.

John, Elly. Michael, Elizabeth & April{in unison}: Oh come on, cut it out! What a rigged system!

Ahhh, my good old Navy days. :)

The Macarena ? So is this Jersey or Mexico ? ;-)

If the lady in green doesn’t know them, she’s certainly acting as if she does.

Do you wanna bet, Elly and John? There’s usually that rare time when someone back home will know you.

If there were phones with cameras, this can be a way to blackmail John and Elly.

I never cared for That song since the day I was trying to eat while sitting at the counter of the Hard Rock cafe, 30 some years ago, people jumped up on the counter, their feet where my food was, doing the macarena when it came on!
