Canadian Comic Strip For Better of For Worse to continue....
but with a twist....
The strip, which runs in over 2,000 papers in North America currently runs in real time. This means that April Patterson, who was born in 1991, is currently 15 years old. However, all will change later this year when everyone will be frozen in time. Do you think this is a good thing? I liked FBorFW because it was different, because everyone got old(er). Freezing them will make the strip just like any other comic strip. Besides, I'd like to see April graduate from high school
Toronto Star article about the strip.
The strip was originally going to end this fall.

THANK YOU! Now if they could just get Liz settled down (and not with Paul, please) I'd be happy.

Meh, it's worked for the Simpsons. Maggie has been a baby for 18 years, and it hasn't hurt that show any.

Bummer! I liked that they aged.

She should just retire. For Better of For Worse was unique in that the characters aged. Even though I haven't read it in years, I still like it for what it was.

I think that it would be difficult to continue aging the family. No one wants to see the parents die, or even grandpa. And how do you follow three families as well as you've followed one?
However I'm not sure that choosing freezing it over ending it is better. Sometimes you should just go out on top (even if I like reading the comics all the time) like Calvin did and Foxtrot has.

this makes me upset. life and death is what happens everyday. people fall in and out of love, houses burn down, guys cheat. My grandfather died unexpectedly, but I can't just stop where I am. I understand she's tired of new ideas, but revisiting the past doesn't seem like an easier alternative to me... I have grown up with Elizabeth and now I won't get to anymore! It's not fair. Perhpaps she could make another book with storylines that show the future for the Pattersons and then continue with the pause-time strip as planned?
