Late to FOOB chat, but I think one reason why it's so bad to us now is because in the 80s, misery=drama in terms of family oriented dramas. Think back to "very special episodes" of 80s sitcoms. I'd argue that FOOB's bad writing is bad to us now, but was considered top notch at the time. Sitcom drama story at the time was "junior borrowed the car and broke a mirror" or "sister cheated on a test". Today, family drama is multiple layers of causes interlinked with itself, but in the 80s the mom and dad were fountains of wisdom and the kids were always wrong. I'm sure in the 80s FOOB was groundbreaking, but today we look at it and say "gently caress thats hosed up"

Just a reminder for everybody: this series of comics threads is so old - and FOOB ran for so long - that it was originally set up specifically to make fun of For Better or For Worse during the last few years of its original run.

The only reason FOOB was acceptable in the 80s, because child abuse was considered a cool and good thing then.

I think unfortunately in this case Encyclopedia’s pedantry is justified because the perpetrator was very specific about giving each dog a quart of water (which seems like a lot right before a race, but what do I know?)

The whole storyline is really gross. Batuik is conflating several different kinds of sexism and making all of them out to have the same causes (men are bad) and solutions (being a girlboss). There's zero awareness of any of these problems being institutional since she could overcome all of them via smug hypercompetence.

There's a weird undercurrent in stories like this where it's like trying to celebrate the person who gets through these hardships in way that seems to discount all the people who were not able to succeed under those conditions. Also Batiuk is absolutely not the person who should be attempting to tell a story like this.
