or worse

Is anyone else angsting over yesterday’s For Better or For Worse strip? I know Grandpa Jim is, like, 85 but–he can’t be dead! Not like this! Shades of Farley, but at least Farley went out saving April’s life. This is so sudden!

I am never ever investing in a real time comic again after this one ends. It’s too traumatic.

Edit
He’s not dead yet. Phew! It would be very un-Lynn Johnston like to kill off a major character without some kind of goodbye. Still, this does not bode well. I have a feeling it will either turn into a Pull the Plug story or a week or so long send-off. I don’t think Grandpa Jim’s coming out of this one.

    Noooo! That’s so sad! FBoFW is such a tough comic strip – it’s cool that the characters age in real time, but sometimes it stinks because it means things like this are inevitable! Aww man. It’s definitely the beginning of the end for good ol’ Grandpa Jim. Sad!

    It totally stinks! I have still not gotten over the fact that Michael is married and a Dad. Heh.

    Anyway, because of last night I now know the strips are changed at 4 am and since I’ll most likely be up… WILL GRANDPA JIM LIVE ANOTHER DAY?

    Okay this is pathetic but oh well.

    Today’s comic isn’t totally optimistic either.

    Neither is today’s! Sigh.
