I wondered how long until someone commented on it here.

Her eyes in panel 4 (3/13) scare me.

Well, she has to concentrate hard and perform self hypnosis in order to successfully perform a Judo-head-rip on Anthony in the next panel...

But I've sort of informally given up The Comics Curmudgeon for Lent!!! Nooooo . . .
Someone should email me if anything of import happens. :)

Has anyone noticed how For Better or For Worse is going into overdrive lately, rushing through hastily assembled story lines in order to finish up by year's end? I can't quite decide why I still read the strip. I guess I still want to see how she makes the transition to time freeze, even if it's painful to read sometimes.

I think the time freeze is an urban legend, and will never actually happen.

It's for real. The only question is when she'll do it. She's getting close to retirement and wants to get out.

Did I hallucinate that it was supposed to start last September, then?

The reruns began last September, but according to the
press release, she would finish up the storylines and then freeze time.
Universal Press Syndicate's 8/29/07 Press Release wrote:Johnston will keep fans engaged with a mix of special strips from the past and newly drawn panels that will help reintroduce favorite storylines. The strip’s current storyline will be interlaced with Michael's remembrances until it gradually reaches a natural closing stage sometime early next year. When that happens, time will stop for the extended Patterson family, but not their stories. The stories will be relived by a current generation of fans and introduced for the first time to a new generation.
Judging from that "early next year" part, I think we're getting close to the time freeze.

I was just assuming that she was going to let Lizthony get married before she froze time.

Yeah, I think that's why she's rushing things. Which is making for a lousy comic, if you ask me.
By the way, my disapproval of the comic doesn't entirely extend to the writer. Lynn Johnston is actually very accommodating and answers email promptly. She helped out on at least one Board question.
