This documentary is a personal profile of Lynn Johnston, the witty, articulate Canadian cartoonist who has captured a large and devoted audience with her internationally syndicated comic strip For Better or For Worse. She talks of her career, and of juggling fame and fortune with her role as wife and mother. The film affords a glimpse of the real lives that feed the comic strip--before they hit the funny papers.
