New comic strip kitty
Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston's hugely popular comic strip "For
Better or For Worse" has turned to owning a cat - or rather, being owned by a cat. Elizabeth, the Patterson's daughter who's teaching in a native school in Northern Ontario, has been persuaded to keep a stray kitty. She resists until she finally relents and names it Shiimsa ("little animal friend" in Ojibwa). Of course once a kitty is named, the last barricade has fallen. http://www.comics.com/comics/forbett...-20041129.html Now in today's strip (Nov. 30), Elizabeth is introduced to the joys - and jolts - of having your life taken over by a cat! http://www.comics.com/comics/forbett...-20041130.html |

MG, when I first started reading this strip, Elizabeth hadn't even been *born* yet!! (This is one cartoon where the characters age normally, more or less in real time.) http://www.comics.com/comics/forbett...-20041129.html http://www.comics.com/comics/forbett...-20041130.html These are great! I love the big silhouette of the cat head in the first panel of the second strip, with Elizabeth sitting in the background typing on her computer. Joyce |

I KNEW Elizabeth was done for the minute her student brought her that kitten. =o) Melissa |

Kreisleriana had some very interesting
things to say about New comic strip kitty: I cried when Farley died. So did thousands of people around the world in the many languages into which FBOFW is translated. Over at the rec.arts.comics.strips newsgroup there are lively ongoing debates about the Pattersons and their critters, almost as if they were real. I forget who Farley was. I have read the strip for a long time, but not continuously. He was the sheep dog. BTW, the current dog, Edgar, is Farley's son. The smaller dog, Dixie, belongs to Ellie's father. -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

While visiting the Charles Shultz museum near here, the creator of "For
Better or Worse" was interviewed by our local paper. I was surprised to read that she's planning on rolling up the strip within the next few years. Seems she wants to end it as Peanuts did - while it's still doing so well. Jim Horn (haven't followed it but enjoy it when I see it) |
