With April home from a summer in the world of veterinary medicine, the world of Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse newspaper strip will see changes in September.

On Labor Day, Michael Patterson shows his 5-year-old daughter, Meredith, a family photo album. As they look at the pictures, the strip will take a look back at the 28-year-old strip in a blend of past and present art and scripts that will revisit the evolution of the family.

When the photo-album arc ends at some point in 2008, the strip will evolve even further. "When that happens, time will stop for the extended Patterson family, but not their stories. The stories will be relived by a current generation of fans and introduced for the first time to a new generation."
