Did the comic strip "For Better or For Worse" start over? I rarely read it but I noticed recently that they just got a dog & named him Farley. I remember Farley from years ago & I believe he passed away. Also, everyone looks young.
 
Yes, it did.
Here is sort of an answer from the website...
"Lynn has returned to the old comics, but she's mixing old material in with new material so you're seeing some new strips and some older strips. Also, some of the old comics that are being run again have been updated slightly so that they make sense to today's readers. Lynn will eventually end up at the end again, yes, but it may take another thirty years!"

There is also a letter on the site that says something about the story line being too complicated and people jumping if there was a small inconsistency.
 
the author of that comic strip had announced earlier this year that she was retiring.
But, now it appears that she finished the 'story line' of her family grown up and is going back to drawing her family as they were when they were young. Click here more information from her website.
 
Yes, unfortunately, this terrible comic will not die.
 

I read somewhere that she was wrapping it up, preparing to retire, when she went through a nasty divorce and now needs the money.

On the last strip of the "new" comic a few months ago, it gave a summary of where everyone ended up, then said "if they could do it all again, would they change anything? We'll find out!" or something like that.
 
I wonder if people who do these types of comic strips, where there isn't a whole line of merchandise & tv specials attached (such as Peanuts & Garfield), also have another source of income. I wonder if a person can make a good living just doing comic strips. Not that it's easy coming up with something funny or interesting everyday but still...
 
I hate the new version. FBorFW used to be something I'd read every day. Now with the new format I check it out every month or 2 and that's only because I'm hoping that it's back to the old version that I loved.
