And don’t forget to keep your eyes on the prize:

This is the two-DVD box set of the For Better or For Worse Family Album, ©2000, with eight half-hour episodes from Season 1 and another eight from Season 2. Every episode has an introduction by Lynn Johnston, and stories from “The Early Years” (before April), “The Growing Years” (April as a baby), and “The Later Years” (Mike/Dee, Liz/Anthony). The stories are well-produced, true to the strip, and really very charming.

Here’s the plan:

  • Wednesday June 25 at 12:00 noon EDT (9:00 AM PDT), I’ll put True’s and Chatty’s questions at the beginning of this post (it won’t be the most recent post by then, so please bookmark or page back).
  • Post your answers in the comments of this thread. Spelling counts, so be careful with Miltawki Mtiwgaki Migwalty obscure place-names. Please number your 10 answers.
  • Contest officially ends at 12:00 noon EDT Thursday, 6/26, but we all know it will be much sooner if the server stays up. The first single comment with all 10 correct answers wins! If nobody gets 10 correct, then the first with 9, then 8 — you get the picture. No do-overs or multiple names, please — the first answer from each individual person is the one that counts.
  • One prize only; all decisions final; I am the Decider. True Fable, ChattyGenes, and I aren’t eligible to win. Errors, delays, acts of God, crashes, and administrative incompetence on my part are all part of the fun!

    • Did I miss anything? Post questions below; I’ll answer them up here. Invite all those fanatics from binky_betsy your friends! Have fun, and good luck!
