About the author
Jeff McLaughlin is a professor of philosophy at Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops BC. His Comics as Philosophy expanded the field of comics studies. His teaching and research interests are quite varied and include: applied ethics, critical thinking, popular culture, the Holocaust. While Lynn Johnston was drawing For Better or For Worse in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Jeff was growing up 670 miles south in Winnipeg, Manitoba looking forward to that day's comics page.
