The Toronto Star is reporting that “For Better or For Worse” is going to be changing direction in 2007. Instead of the “real time” storyline the strip has always had, it’s switching to the more common “frozen in time” aspect that most comic strips have. It will also revisit old storylines.

Whether this takes hold or not… well, we’ll see. Lynn Johnston is doing this instead of completely retiring the strip as was previously planned for this coming September.

If you’re a “For Better or For Worse” fan, check out Lynn Johnston’s page on how a comic strip is drawn and written from start to finish.

I have a collection of “Day-to-Day” calendars on my desk so I can be sure and see my favorite comic strips every day. Here’s what I have:

#4 – Dilbert 2007 Day-to-Day Calendar

This year’s calendar is “This Week I Achieved Unprecedented Levels of Unverifiable Productivity“. It picks up right where the 2006 calendar left off, and that’s in the move that Asok is attempting to organize. Dilbert is a must see comic for anyone that works in an office.

#3 – FoxTrot 2007 Day-to-Day Calendar

The FoxTrot Calendar is a must have, because there aren’t any daily strips anymore. You read the announcement about FoxTrot discontinuing the daily strip didn’t you? FoxTrot has always been a great comic, and this is the only way to get your daily dose. Fortunately, the strip will be continued on Sunday, so you’ll still get a new color comic every week.

#2 – Get Fuzzy 2007 Day-to-Day Calendar (Quality Time).

“Get Fuzzy” is an excellent comic strip. You’d think that the “Guy and Dog and Cat” comic strip has been done to death by “Garfield”, but “Get Fuzzy” throws it into a whole new dimension. Rob,
Satchel and Bucky…. Not to be missed!

#1 – The Far Side Gallery 2007 Off The Wall Page-a-Day Calendar

Well, I have to say that my jaw hit the floor when I found out that Gary Larson came out with a calendar for 2007, after not having any for the last few years. Welcome back all the cows, scientists, cave men, and just plan weirdness that is “The Far Side”. The author’s proceeds are going to a charity (Conservation International).
