The good things about this For Better or For Worse collection: April's band adjusts to their new line up, April spends a few weeks at her uncle's farm and the translation of "kaad-gnebig njnaamod". The bad things, well, pretty much everything else. The Patterson clan and friends have become pretty dull or depressing. sigh. The strip used to be so good.

John and Elly move toward their retirement years, as their children progress toward their own dreams... more or less. Elly sells Lilliput's to Moira and retires. A new singer, Eva, joins April's band, replacing Becky. Anthony's wife, Therese, has been having an affair and moves out of their house. He starts divorce proceedings. Elizabeth decides to leave Mtigwaki and come back home, inadvertently blindsiding her new boyfriend Paul. Elly's Dad turns 85, and has a major stroke. The trial of Elizabeth's attacker, Howard, gets under way. Never a dull year at the Pattersons'. (

Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse is the world's most popular family strip in which characters evolve through age and experience, rather than remaining frozen in time. Readers appreciate the daily doings of the Patterson family, which often mirror their own.

·Senior's Discount: A For Better or For Worse Collection follows John and Elly as retirement looms, Grandpa Jim celebrates his 85th birthday and suffers a stroke, Mike and Deanna adjust to the demands of parenthood, Elizabeth accepts a teaching position that brings her back home, and April strains for more and more independence.

·Simultaneous to the publication of this collection, Johnston makes an unprecedented move within the newspaper cartooning community—developing a new format by using former plot lines as a jumping-off point for new ones.

For Better or For Worse has been syndicated since 1979 and has been named Best Syndicated Comic Strip. The strip boasts a lively Web presence at www.fborfw.com
