Library's review
Vi følger en lille familie, Elly - 39 år, John - ca jævnaldrende, Elizabeth, 9 år, Michael 10 år og familiens hund, Farley.
Denne samling dækker søndagstriber, så det går stærkt. Elly og John får en baby April, som når børnehavealder i løbet af albummet. Michael
Flere af striberne er med i "There Goes My Baby!" men denne samling har også nogle små baggrundshistorier, der er meget søde uden at være specielt dybe. Fx om en joke om at bo så langt ude at man klæder sig pænt på for at køre på lossepladsen, for man møder jo nok nogle man kender. Striberne om Lawrence gav åbenbart en mængde reaktioner, både negative og positive. Mest negative fra bibelbæltet.
Glimrende skildringer af hverdagssituationer.

Description
For years and years, Lynn Johnston has entertained, enlightened, and educated the world about the delights and disappointments of family life. Her strip is poignant and funny--and very often, universal. She captures a mother's frustration at an unruly teenager, a father's surprise in a growing daughter, and kids' various views about their future as they grow up. In It's the Thought That Counts, For Better or For Worse looks back on many of the series' high points through Lynn's hand-picked selection of color Sundays: the unexpected birth of baby April in 1991; the daring revelation that teenage family friend Lawrence was gay; the fear that comes with aging parents. The collection also includes those quietly funny moments in families: a father and his kids romping with abandon; a closet full of clothes that no longer span a middle-aged girth; a teenage son's first experience with a crush. Lynn Johnston fashioned the Patterson family after her own lively brood. Her real life experiences--divorce, childbirth, pets, and parents--show through in her work in the most wise and wonderful ways. Even better, this anniversary book contains Johnston's comments about some of her favorite strips in an amusing and informative narrative.… (more)
