	Floridian: Comic controversy
		Johnston, whose For Better or For Worse comic strip appears in nearly 2,000 newspapers in 25 countries, is expecting another round of angry letters and canceled subscriptions -- all over a guy named Lawrence who's 2 inches tall and exists only on paper.
		In 1993, when Johnston made Lawrence one of the first openly gay characters to appear in a nationally syndicated comic strip, she was hailed as a pioneer by some and criticized by others as a threat to decency.
		As was the case eight years ago, Johnston said, she is merely trying to show a typical family going through the ups and downs of everyday life.

		I would say that Lynn Johnston's "For Better or Worse" is the "Gasoline Alley" for modern times, but there is a good chance the reference would be lost on most of the readers who have been enjoying this daily cartoon strip for the past couple of decades.
		Johnston has always described her strips as a humorous but down to earth look at parenting, although obviously she knows about sibling rivalry and other family dynamics, as well as the joys of friendship.
		Lynn Johnston continues to impress us with her very skillful artistic talents and true-to-life storytelling (though she does has an assistant or two in her studio) and all the characters are quite believable and lovable, thus easy to relate to.

		For nearly ten years, the Patterson clan has charmed moms, dads, brothers and sisters with the lighthearted and engaging chronicle of their family in the cartoon "For Better or For Worse." Pushing 40 provides new dimensions of Johnston's lively and entertaining portrayal of family life.
		While the present-day strip is the first thing I read when I turn to the comics page in the morning, I personally prefer the more humorous style Lynn Johnston employed in these early strips.
		This collection also features my personal favorite FBOFW storyline: Michael, Gordon, Brian and one other boy are up in a tree, with a perfect view of Lawrence's stepsister's bedroom.
