The comic strip now appears in 1,550 papers in the U.S. and Canada. Read by people of all ages, the award-winning For Better or For Worse deals honestly with both the light-hearted and the serious, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Art imitating life is what happens in Johnston's perennially popular comic strip, "For Better or For Worse." In this newest collection, life is progressing for each character in the Patterson family.
"Something Wonderful" collects many of Johnston's popular comic strip, "For Better or For Worse"--a light-hearted strip about family, humor, and domestic ironies. Full-color throughout.
Images and Imagery: Frames, Borders, Limits - Interdisciplinary Perspectives is a collection of essays by scholars from around the world exploring the complex interactions between literary texts and visual images (in the form of paintings, photographs, and films). Giving coherence to these wide-ranging contributions is the theme of frames, borders, and limits. The eighteen authors, each from a particular point of view, examine works that reach beyond the limits, both cognitive and expressive, of any single mode of expression.
