The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 13, 2013

Never lose another catsup race with a plastic squeeze bottle.

my goodness – what is that word in panel six???

♫Anticipation…♫ Anticipation…♪♪ Anticipay yay yay shun…♫

The word’s fine, it’s the lack of, or perhaps the excess of, artistry?!?!

Sometimes you forget to remove the little seal inside the cap and you can’t figure out why it won’t come out.

That must’ve taken a lot of work to turn the word “flick” into something else. How else to explain that he’d left the cap closed without saying it, and spoiling the conversationless comic?

Surprised he didn’t attempt to even twist off the cap first.

Not sure if it was intended, but the “flick” is perfect when taken both ways. Once she flicked off the cap, everything was fine.

It could be, go flick yourself.

*AND THEN WE HAVE HOW MANY OF US, in our 50’s and beyond with bad eyesight? HECK MY EYES ARE BAD and I saw the word FLICK right away, surprisingly, ROFLMAO!

Good one Chip! And yeah, that would be my sons or hubby!

Y’know, I didn’t even notice the alternative to that word, until I read the comments.

Now I’m flicking ashamed of myself!
